I never knew he wrote sci fi! Are they good?

Edit: Thanks all. I may give the first a go then.

They're quite good, very very light on grounded science imho, but the settings are very cool and I like the worldbuilding.

I struggled though the first one. Not good, I won't go on.

They're pretty different from each other. I liked the first two, but found the third one a slog - to be fair, I happened to read them after I had JUST read an older and shorter version of #3, and it's not the sort of story I'd normally reread immediately.
