Peter F. Hamilton best books, ranked

Peter F. Hamilton — 16 titles in the rankings, first published between 1993 and 2026. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 4 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note Start with Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained, the two-book Commonwealth Saga and his best-rated work. The Void Trilogy is set in the same universe centuries later and rates nearly as high. The Night’s Dawn Trilogy (from The Reality Dysfunction) is his earlier, even longer epic. All are very long.
