In the same vein as David Brin, and just as good, is Peter F Hamilton.
The 'Night's Dawn' trilogy is really superb, set in the far future when many worlds are being colonised. It looks at genetic engineering and the moral difficulties, as well as being a good against evil space operal. It has an excellent ending with religious overtones, but not at all like Philip Pullman, but much more positive.
If you like crime the 'Greg Mandel' books mix scifi and crime and are set in a near future where Britain has been subject to global warming, and is just coming out of a dictatorship that was because of the emergency of losing so much land to rising sea levels.
The latest series is Pandora's Star, which i have discussed elsewhere.
I always really enjoy these books
