Hamilton's ability to propagate ideas and technologies into the future and envision their ultimate outcome is unmatched in the genre.

I agree completely. In fact, I much
prefer Hamilton's Commonwealth Universe to his more highly touted Confederation Universe (Night's Dawn).
The Void Trilogy that follows the Commonwealth Saga is quite worthy also. Misspent Youth should really be avoided at all costs. It contains very little that's relevant to the overall series and is generally regarded as some of Hamilton's weakest writing. I happen to agree with that assessment.
