I've read a few of his over the years, starting with The Hormone Jungle, which was set in an Amazonian city a few hundred years into the future, and Black Milk, about genetically engineered boy with a photographic memory, which read a little like Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He's not been as popular as his contemporaries, say, Greg Bear, which I think is a great shame as his books are very accessible.
Marrow is a very ambitious work, exploring the many thousand year story of a great planet-sized ships' immortal crew as they explore the secret at it's vast heart.
