At least do people the favor of mentioning that you're suggesting the books be read out of publication order (with no canonical recommendations for doing so). To do otherwise is presumptuous.
Actually, I have a canonical mentioning. It's from the UK publisher.

The first volume in the Chronicles of the Fallers, The Abyss Beyond Dreams by Peter F. Hamilton, is an exceptional novel exploring the mystery at the heart of the Commonwealth Universe. Fitting between the events of the Commonwealth Saga and the Void Trilogy, The Abyss Beyond Dreams is the first in an expansive duology, from the master of space opera.
