Banks I do know. If you're looking for great Sci-fi novel with compelling characters, go with
Excession.
However, I loved
The Bridge as well, which is more of a psychological mystery with certain science fiction overtones.
Other authors that I like:
Ken Macleod,
The Cassini Division- Takes a little work, but I enjoyed it and the ideas are cool.
Dennis L. McKiernan, Anything he has in the Mithgar cycle - He writes high fantasy with realism, the way that Tolkien could never get. When his characters talk they actually sound natural. He's great.
Jack Whyte,
The Eagle's Brood and others - A new take on the Authur legends set in Post Roman times. Very interesting and well written.
Just my thoughts on them.
