The Many-Coloured Land by Julian May
4.0
Solid start to a series, the story ends just at the culmination of one set of events whilst leaving plenty to move onto. This is excellent science fantasy, I find myself comparing it at once to Zelazny's lord of light (as the divide between masters with both scientific and mental/magic abilities and the downtrodden who serve them is quite similar in both tales) and Peter F Hamilton's work (as it's a broad sweeping space opera backdrop with multiple story threads to follow through connected events).
It's even got time travel, sabre toothed tigers, and gladatorial combat. What's not to love?
