I’m a huge fan of Peter F. Hamilton myself (original username NorthernLightMountain after all) and figured there ought to be more of us around here!
My absolute favorite world of his is the commonwealth universe and really want him to get back to something on that scale again.
I’ve read both the Salvation and Arkship trilogies after that and even though they’re both good I want brick sized epic space opera again!
Might just have to go back an revisit his books again.
I did see that he co-authored a book semi recently that managed to fly under my radar; Light Chaser (written with Gareth L. Powell).
Has anyone read it? No spoilers please :)
The deus ex machina conclusions to his stories are getting a bit worn, but he’s still superb at producing lots of seemingly unconnected threads that come together to form a wonderful picture at the end.
The first thing I read of his had a very unsatisfying deus ex ending that seemed to come out of the blue, but perhaps a re-read would show me there were clues I missed. Since then I’ve been fairly happy with how he wraps things up, and I’ve read almost everything he’s published.
