He is a sf writer (at least I recommend him after having read the three novels about ex-envoy Kovacs), but none the less lately my favourite authour.
What is making his novels unique?
- throughout the books the plot is described from first person perspective,
- the feeling of being inversed into a rich, realistic world,
- a world, that sometimes frighenly resembles our near future,
- the blend of action, love, tragedy, and the main character's insights.
Anyone else read his novels?

Yup, I strongly recommend him to anyone reading this.
I liked his non-kovacs book too, forgot the name but the whole idea of small wars is a very hot topic now.

I've read his three Kovacs novels, the first and last of which are the best. They are pacy, well-written and while the sort of pulp-noir space opera style of SF is getting to be a bit samey, they are nevertheless very good SF thrillers (embarrassing sex scenes apart). My only minor gripe is that his lefty politics show up a bit too much, but it doesn't really impair my enjoyment. Though personally, I prefer Peter F Hamilton if I have the choice.
