My personal favourite is Queen of Angels. (The sequel was a disappointment).

Eon is the best, but it's tied to the geopolitics of the 80s.

Blood Music is, I think, almost as good as Eon but isn't quite so "of it's time". Slightly more accessible. I'd start there. He also has a fine body of short fiction, including the short Blood Music is based on. For that, you could try the collection Tangents.

I second the recommendation for Queen of Angels and Blood Music. Loved them both.

Blood Music is a quick read that escalated even quicker. I loved Forge of God and even more so it’s successor Anvil of the Stars.

I'd say Eon, Blood Music or Queen of Angels. Also Songs of Earth and Power.

All great suggestions. I'd add Moving Mars.

Forge of God and Eon. Both are excellent and both have excellent sequels that wrap everything up.
