Was doing a search for Peter F Hamilton and all of the threads appear to be closed now, so thought I would start a new one...so do you have any great sci-fi novels you can recommend to other players. I shall kick it off with of course Peter F Hamilton and his nights dawn trilogy as well as pandoras star/judas unchained and the first book of the void trilogy (anyone know when book 2 is out???)
I also recommend Alastair Reynolds and Ken McLeods engines of light trilogy....have also got but haven't got round to reading the saga of the seven suns, elizabeth moons the serrano succession and dan simmons endymion which i gather is a follow up to hyperion.
Also Banks and some bloke called tony gonzales which has written a book about a computer game  not read it yet, but hoping it's good...

Temporal Void will be out in the UK in October, and US in 2009, which means Ill be buying from Ebay again.
2 of my favorite EPIC sci fi books would be the 5 part Hitchhikers Guide trilogy, and Battlefield Earth (flamesuit on!)
Not read Battlefield Earth, heard it is a million times better than the movie (which i have refused to watch).... |

anyone ever bothered to read alfred besters the demolition man? Now that is a damn good book, pretty much like everything that bester has written, but with this you can see where babylon 5 got it's ideas for telepaths from.
