Iain M Banks, Peter F Hamilton, Asimov, Neal Asher, and Alastair Reynolds.
I like space operas if you can’t tell.
Yeah that’s a fair criticism. I can see how it would be polarising. Personally, I don’t mind a bit of slap and tickle in books and I think it thematically fits the hyper-individualist universes in each series.
Megan O’Keefe’s Protectorate Trilogy is a fun read that reminds me a bit of Hamilton’s writing without all the sex.
I'm reading my first Alastair Reynolds now and I can see why fans of Banks might like it.
