Anyone have som suggestion for some good Sci-Fi audiobooks?

Just finished Peter F. Hamilton: Confederation Universe(Trilogy).. great stuff.. too bad the rest of his books aint the same.

Works like Dune/Mote in gods eye and similar stuff is a little too much "Space Opera"

Needs something that will keep me awake on the long car trips to work..

You could try the Warhammer 40k audiobooks - some of them are pretty good

Greg Bear stuff is compelling, he wrote a book called Eon that has such a rich technological basis that its one of my favourite books of all time.

Primordium looks nice, and has that reclaimer feel, part of the Forerunner Saga.

Legacy (prequel), Eon, Eternity (Sequel) are set in an amazing situation.

Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Great stuff, keep em comming.

Borascus: Gonna check out "Eternity (Sequel)", Eon was fantastic.

Webvan: A great source indeed, i have allready read "Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan" and liked the style.

Isaac is superb, i have read most of the audiobooks i was able to fin in a semi good quality.

Warhammer 40k, i liked the game but never read any

Greg Bear even has a screenplay - but he needs investment of $50-100mil to get it to take off, I can totally see the depletion of Natural Resources involving all the main players in the script, and the lucrative opportunities that The Way has. I only found out about the sequel recently myself, the prequel might be worthwhile as well, especially if it has an in-depth on the mass-driver section in Segment 6.

Alastair Reynolds books are good esp the trilogy consisting of :-
Revelation Space, Redemption Ark and Absolution Gap (the Inhibitor trilogy)
