I read the first 4 or 5 of that series. It was OK, a bit lightweight and formulaic and like a Firefly knock-off but enjoyable enough at the start. I went off them while reading the one where Earth gets trashed. The villain's motivations were ridiculous and were just there to keep the plot going so I didn't bother with it after that. Also, the Detective had gone by then, and he was easily my favourite character.

@Vogagamitch
Dune is one of my all time favourite novels. Absolutely amazing book and a fantastic example of detailed world-building.

I second this; the metro books are fantastic. 2034 is a mixed bag, but still worth a read.

The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

@DevlinMandrake I'm looking forward to reading it! I haven't had a lot of free time to read recently because of the end-of-school flood of work, but as soon as I'm done with BNW I'm diving right in!
