I'd say "par". Are you aware that _Slash_ was a (loose) sequel to _Queen of Angels_?
I'd recommend _Moving Mars_ and _Blood Music_ as his best novels. Another good one is _Eon_.
He also has a less-SciFi'ish (fantasy) book, _Songs of Earth and Power_ that was pretty good.
I've read Vitals*, Darwin's Radio, Blood Music, Moving Mars, Dinosaur Summer and the Forge of God (Queen of Angels and / are in the queue). I would recommend all of them.
