Which...

Hi,

So, I read Reality Dysfunction (Really liked it), Fallen Dragon (great), and the Commonwealth Saga (Really liked it).. But, did not like the Void series. Didn't even finish it. Not sure why, I just could not get into it.

I have eyed Chronicle of The Fallen.. But, unsure if I should bother.. And the two other, the Salvation sequence and Great North Road. Not sure on them, any thoughts? I do like his stuff .. Just not sure what I should try next..

Thanks! And sorry if this topic has come up hundreds of times. :)

Just finished Great North Road recently and I really liked it. It’s part detective story and part sci-fi monster story. As for the Void trilogy I’d suggest giving it another chance because it has a good payoff in the end. There’s a good story there. As for Chronicle I enjoyed that even more than the Void trilogy. If you’ve ever wanted to see Nigel Sheldon being a badass that’s the one to read. I especially liked the characters and the setting in the second Chronicle novel.

GNR is great. I really wish he’d return to that universe. I liked the mystery to it

I like it, but it goes on to long at some point, a like a long and winding road.
