I'm a big fan of his sci-fi. I think I've read most of them; there's nothing quite like them (that I've found*). I was so sad to hear of his passing.

I've been re-reading A Crown for Cold Silver, by Alex Marshall. I was going to come here and recommend it anyway, but it struck me that maybe the reason I like it so much is that there is a lot of similarity to Banks. Yes it's 'fantasy' on face value with witches, swords etc etc but there are also dimensional gates and politics and complex characters who are never 100% good or evil, a lot of drugs, a hatred of religion, and loads of subtle jokes. Loved it the first time round and even better on re-reading a bit more slowly
