I definitely second the recommendation for Mary Gentle. And the one for Sylvia Engdahl's books.
In Golden Witchbreed and Ancient Light, there's messing with gender and ruined cities and vast bridges and love and betrayal and galactic corporations and humanity fucking it all up, all through good intentions. I think Gentle uses the word "fuck" a lot less frequently in these books than in some of her later ones.
