If you only read 1 peter f hamilton book (although please read the 2nd part: Judas Unchained as well!!!) read this. An easy read and entertaining. Very similar style to his confederation trilogy thoug
The Time ShipsThe Time Ships by Stephen Baxter

It should be Wells' original here.... but i thought i'd put the sequel in as not a lot of people (except true sci-fi fans!) know there is one!
Red Mars (Mars trilogy)Red Mars (Mars trilogy) by Kim Stanley Robinson
Buy new: £6.17 / Used from: £0.01
And a series to avoid..... Red Mars (the first of the trilogy) is ok but slushy. Books 2 and 3....long-winded. Stay away!!!!!!
