Lustbader is a long-time favorite of mine. To me, Sunset Warrior trilogy started out fantastic and gently slid down to muddled. I think I enjoyed his Pearl series more though it was not as brilliant as the best of the Sunset Warrior. The way he starts in fantasy and transitions to SF in both of those series reminds me a little of Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun series.
His thriller and spy novels are consistently good (to me).
