Anyone here read his books? Particularly the "Reality Dysfunction" book?
I've read a couple of his short stories and like them but never any of his novels. So I'm just looking for a little feedback from any readers out there.

It was hard SF combined with ghost story combined with a zombie movie. I liked it.

Especially the first two books in the series. One of the best space opera authors of our time. And one of the most entertaining stories.
Another author who comes to my mind is Alastair Reynolds- anybody who likes Hamilton's books should check Reynols out as well.

The first one was okay - they went downhill from there, IMO..... I dunno, I think it just "dragged on" WAY too long and went for the "gross out effect" too much.
