I'm still getting and reading the wxpanse books as they are released but the flavour has changed. I don't think its all bad, but the 'near future realism' part that first attracted me started taking a long walk around book 4.

I still like the Neil Asher polity books for a glimpse of the possible distant future politics

Just finishing the last book I can find from Neil Asher. While there were a few wobbly bits I generally found them all very good, the near future politics elements in the Owner trilogy was also quite captivating. This is especially since I'm a brit, so I saw Serene Galahad as Theresa May in her early 30's.
