I really like the overall world building of the Revelation Space universe. I'm currently reading Machine Vendetta which came out recently and is in somewhat of a prequel series for Revelation Space. Some of the Demarchist communities described in the Glitter Band are really wacky.

The various factions, planets, concepts, etc. are all great. It's a great universe for short stories and there are some good anthologies.

However... I think I actually enjoyed Reynolds' Revenger series a lot more in terms of the individual characters and their stories. If someone forced me to pick out only three books from Reynolds for you to read, it would be the three books in the Revenger trilogy.

I'd also recommend another series from him which starts with Blue Remembered Earth.
