Kelby,
Since you've asked about a lot of Peter F. Hamilton books lately, I should mention that I have scanned The Dreaming Void and am about halfway through reading it. Shouldn't be more than another week before I submit it. Then I will be scanning and reading through The Temporal Void, which looks to be a bit longer than The Dreaming Void's 630 pages. Those are the first two books in The Void trilogy. The third book is due out some time next year.
These books take place in the same Commonwealth universe as Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained, but about a thousand years in the future. I really liked Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained, but I think I like The Dreaming Void even better. Those two earlier books were pretty much straight space opera--extremely well done space opera indeed in my opinion.. But in addition to the character development and imaginative world building that are hallmarks of his earlier work, The Void trilogy has themes of human evolution and transcendence through various means, themes which are not present in those earlier books. For me, those themes make what would have already been engaging books even more interesting.

I scanned Pandora's Star.  It is currently being proofread.  When

I say

"proofread", I mean it.  The guy who took it is actually reading

through it.

It is a rather long book, 758 pages, 353,000 words.  It might be

another

couple of weeks before he finishes it, but it will be of truly

excellent

quality.  Be assured of that.



Evan
