Books like Peter F Hamilton?

[Salgar]

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend me some science fiction books which are like Peter f Hamilton books?

I've read pretty much all of his books and love his in depth style of writing. I'm just coming to the end of his latest book and also got a kindle for Christmas so was wondering if anyone could recommend me something.

haha, any particular book you recommend starting with?

[SystemParanoia]

I loved pushing Ice and house of suns as great standalone's that i couldn't put down

But Chasm City book links into the revelation space trilogy very very nicely

Love Hamiltons books, just finished the great north road and thought it was excellent.

+1 for Alastair Reynolds too, House of Suns was a good read, Revelation space is next for me.

Have you read any Greg Bear novels (Particularly EON, Eternity or Anvil of stars), or any of the Ian M Banks Culture series? If not then I highly recommend them too.

Or perhaps try some Richard Morgan, I found the Takeshi Kovacs - Altered Carbon/Broken Angels/Woken Furies books very entertaining (ultra violent though, not everyones cup of tea), but Market Forces was not so good.

Neal Asher, Iain M banks, Richard Morgan, Alistair Reynolds , Greg Egan , Ken MacLeod, Dan Simmon etc

She's not a salad dressing, it's Myo.

Hamilton is my all time favorite author, upset that I have almost nothing of his left to read though. :'(

Finished House of Suns today, was very good, thanks for the recommendation folks. What next?

[Madness60]

Try Neal Asher's Agent Cormac series, first one is Gridlinked. I like most of Ashers stuff, currently rereading Hamiltons Commonwealth saga.

For Neal Asher, my favourite series are the Spatterjay ones. Starts with The Skinner, then The Voyage of the Sable Keech and then Orbus. The war drone Sniper is in these books.

Altered carbon.

There's a theme here! Also just finished House of Suns - a real page turner - has something of Asimov about it, with Hesperus in place of R Daneel Olivaw.

Just moving on to Revelation Space now.

Also recently read Brin's newest novel, "Existence" - Excellent hard SF, sort of a cross between William Gibson and Stephen Baxter.

I thought that was a later book and not directly related to revelation space? Is it set before the revelation trilogy?

Not in the revelation trilogy by same universe and directly related

Just started reading The Reality Dysfunction, my first P. Hamilton book I'd echo the thoughts about Iain M Banks Culture books though, if you haven't read any, I envy you.

Use of Weapons is awesome.

I know that feeling! I've reread all the culture novels 3 or 4 times now. Enjoy the Calvert capers

Just been onto Amazon to order Chasm City and ended ordering ALL Reynolds books - should keep me busy.............
