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.
Iain M Banks, Peter F Hamilton, Asimov, Neal Asher, and Alastair Reynolds.
I like space operas if you can’t tell.
I’m reading my first Alastair Reynolds now and I can see why fans of Banks might like it.
I recommend House of Suns, Terminal World and Revenger.
Loved the Revenger trilogy.

Kinda liked the way it wrapped up by answering all the characters’ questions but left them with a whole series of new unanswered questions.
Yes a surprisingly fun and satisfying adventure. It really made me wish there was a video game in The Congregation setting.
I’m on Revelation Space.
Also great. A fun series but dense as hell.
i like banks and someone lent me a reynolds book. its soooooo long though. im reading some phillip k dick instead

Neal Asher! I just fall into his books. I’m never even sure if it’s good writing but I do love his stuff so much.
