Need to use 10 audible credits!

I have 10 audible credits still to use up in the next week before my sub expires.

My only stipulation is that I like to use audible credits on longer books (I prefer to read the shorter books and listen to the longer ones.) I'm not going to put a hard limit on it though.

I generally like hard sci-fi---like Revelation Space series---over fantasy, but I loved the Thomas Covenant series. Also really like Hyperion but not as much into Game of Thrones.

Hopefully that's enough to at least whittle down the possibilities a bit.

Thanks!!

If you like Reynold's Revelation series, which I would only describe as sort of hard SF as it has its fair share of unobtanium in it, then I would recommend Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth and Void series (the Void books follow on from the Commonwealth ones). They are certainly long books, have a similar feel to the Revelation Space books (huge canvas, massive detail, many interlinked threads) and, in my opinion, surpass them.

Also worth considering are Neal Asher's Polity books and Iain M Banks' Culture books. These are somewhat shorter books but still on the long side typically four to six hundred pages.
