If you're looking for a very good read, while Hamilton is great, try Timothy Zahn's Conquerors' Trilogy.
With Hamilton, The Night's Dawn Trilogy is a very good read, although at times it can get tediously descriptive.
In terms of unique takes on sci fi, and if you want a prolific author, Alastair Reynolds is great, although he is a little difficult to read at times.
There was another trilogy I really enjoyed, that addressed the question of space travel without the benefit of artificial gravity (in so many movies and books, gravity seems to be taken completely for granted).
You know what bugs me the most about star trek? Seats and seat belts. I mean come on, after the 10000 times that someone dies from being thrown across the bridge, you would think they would sit them the hell down, and strap the in, instead of "Red Alert, Brace for Impact".
