Yeah, I've read the commonwealth.

But nothing like the first book, although the two are actually a single book sold separately, at least for me.

I just read a neighbor of Pandora's Star in the graph (Coyote) and enjoyed it. Note quite like pandora, but fine.

Allen Steele's work isn't really all that similar, though I suppose Coyote and its sequels come closest. The authors I mentioned are much better bets.
