Alastair Reynolds recommends
 Perdido Street Station (2000) (New Crobuzon, book 1) China Miéville "...something very special indeed. At 700 pages it's not to be taken lightly, but I defy anyone to stop once they've allowed themselves to be drawn into the amazing, intricate and grotesque world he has created." |  The Well of Stars (2004) (Marrow, book 2) Robert Reed "Wonderful far-future SF of the best kind: Imaginative, epic, mind-blowing." |  Gardens of the Sun (2009) (Quiet War, book 2) Paul McAuley "A writer of dazzling range, luminous intelligence and great humanity." | |
 Daughter of Eden (2016) (Dark Eden , book 3) Chris Beckett "A rising star of British SF_Beckett should be on the radar of anyone who professes concern for science fiction as a literary form." |
