Any Peter F. Hamilton fans around? (self.literature)

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 :)

I'm a big fan. I read Nights Dawn trilogy as a young teen and absolutely loved it. Recently re-read it and really enjoyed it , again.

Yeah? They still hold up? Been thinking about doing that too.

I mean, they have their flaws and show their age a bit. But fundamentally, they're still very enjoyable sci-fi with entertaining characters and some great imagery.

Nice! I remember really enjoying the split between adamists and evenings was it? Their difference in technology and society.

Kind of wish he hadn't used a certain real life character in them though but I suppose it worked.
