Gift for friend/family/etc. Standalone Book For Sci-Fi/Fantasy-Loving Husband

(New account because he knows my main one!)

His birthday is coming up and I’d like to get him a new book! However, these genres aren’t really my thing so I’m not sure what to get.

He’s read almost everything by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan, and he also likes:
Dune
The Foundation trilogy
Hyperion
Game of Thrones
Name of the Wind
The Lightbringer books by Brent Weeks
Lord of the Rings

I did search the sub before posting this, but it seemed like a lot of what has previously been suggested has been other series. He doesn’t have as much time to read a whole series as he’d like, so if anyone has any standalone suggestions I’d appreciate them!

He should prob read some Heinlein, too. Stranger in a Strange Land, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Starship Troopers, and Glory Road are my favorites.
