I'll put in another vote for Peter Hamilton. He is great at creating a vivid, detailed world for his stories with a large cast of characters and multiple storylines. At this point I'd have to say that Hamilton is my current favorite SF author (having displaced Larry Niven).
Fallen Dragon, Pandora's Star, and Judas Unchained were almost impossible to put down. The Night's Dawn "Trilogy" was also a page turner which is saying something about a series that spans 3000 paperback pages. BUT . . I felt let down by the ending of the book. If you look at the reviews on Amazon, you'll see I'm not alone. That being said, the last Night's Dawn book still got a 4 star rating.
