Peter Hamiltons Nights Dawn trilogy. He introduces an alien religion in the first book around 450 pages in. It becomes very important (and not seen again) until about 3000 pages later in book three, and no that number is not hyperbole.

He does the same thing in the first chapter of Pandora's Star, where the protagonists find the energy harvesting tech. The pay-off is at the very end of Judas Unchained.
