Depending on your hashkafa, you may find the works of R’ Noson Slifkin of interest. His books were banned a few years ago by some gedolim, but some of them indicated afterward that they had never read the books and didn’t have a good understanding of what was in them. What is more, several of the askanim responsible for the ban are now either in prison (for unrelated felonies) or otherwise disgraced. However, as R’ Slifkin has explained on his website, he actually agrees with the ban for certain communities (I think those who are very insular and unfamiliar with the findings of modern science in general).

Various kiruv-oriented books on Torah and science have been written, such as Genesis and the Big Bang (be careful — there are two books of this title, written by different authors). You may want to check them out as well.
