"Diamond hard" science fictionNo known violations of science, though of course speculative engineering or theories that go beyond current scientific knowledge but don't conflict with it.
Stories that score a 5 or 5.5 on "Mohs scale of sci-fi hardness"

Hollow Earth. I think I read Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" when I was on a big Verne kick in Jr. High, but I'd be up for that again, or ERB's "At the Earth's Core" or something else from the Pellucidar series. Dunno offhand of any more recent examples, except Mike Grell's Warlord comic series, which I dearly loved back in the day.

Any other examples? I realize we're not nominating books yet, but I'd like to know :)
Six-Gun Planet ,Guns of Seneca 6 ,Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future ( The Return of SantiagoThe Return of Santiago) of course King's Dark Tower books and there are others I've read that just don't come to mind right now. There are books like Jack Campbell's ( John G. Hemry) Beyond the Frontier series which is borderline space western. That of course doesn't even scratch the surface of what are called "Weird Westerns" if those are included.
