Any Peter F. Hamilton fans around? (beehaw.org)

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 :)

His Night's Dawn Trilogy got me into reading science fiction, so his books will always feel nostalgic to me. However I haven't read him in years. It was just more of the same and my taste grew elsewhere. Especially towards shorter works and his books are doorstoppers.

I miss those doorstoppers though.. :)
