Water found on a potentially life-friendly alien planet

Hamilton’s The Reality Dysfunction was the stupidest book I’ve ever read and took hundreds of pages to expose itself. Are his others any more grounded (like your other suggestions)?

Yeah the Night’s dawn series was a bit out there compared to the genre average. The Commonwealth series is considerably closer to baseline, and his best books IMO. The void trilogy (and the newer trilogy whose name escapes me) follow on from the Commonwealth books, and while good, don’t hold up to the first three.

Thanks for the heads up! I liked his writing style so I’ll put them on the list.

I'm a huge fan of Hamilton's books but I have to agree this one was.. different.

I think I liked it in the end, though not as much as his other books, but can absolutely understand people would dislike it.

The reincarnation of Al Capone?
