I wasn't the biggest fan of the second book but I firmly believe the first book is a future classic, up there with Old Man's War, The Three-Body Problem and Children of Ruin. Some people might get put off by the "hard science fiction" term but it's really not hard and it doesn't matter anyway, the book is all interesting characters, nonstop action and some very neat ideas.
