Best sci-fi I have read..... next to perhapes some Orson Scott Card is...
"Pandora's Star" by Peter Hamilton and the follow up "Judas Unchained"
Nice big thick books of about 500 pages each and a seemingly vast array of non-connected characters that are well fleshed out.
Perhapes a bit to much 'love' scenes and some parts are a little out there, but ultimately its about humankind (who now live for 800+ years due to memory chips and cloned bodies) who have spread to the surrounding galaxies run into a malevolent race on 'Pandora's star' plus a 'sleeper cell' of the alien origin currently working to undermine humanity and that investigation.
Really great universe, well thought out 'tech', and great characters.
Highly recommended.
