Just finished the Salvation trilogy by Peter F Hamilton:
Salvation
Salvation Lost
The Saints of Salvation
At around 2500 pages in total not for the average reader - though still less than the 3000 pages of his Comeanwealth Saga (only 2 books).
Very good at character development, world building and interlaced or intersecting storylines.
Yes the trilogy I just read has a group of humans called Omina who are "Utopials" as opposed to standard humans who are "Universals". Those who join the Utopial society must be genetically modified so any future offspring are born Omina - who are taller than normal humans and go through a 4 yearly change from male to female and back again. They are referred to hir and sie in the books. Not that I am particularly interested in the general pronoun bs.

Interesting now to see how LGBT politics ispermeating fiction, even scifi.
