Histoire
The Lowlands’ city states have lived in peace for decades, hailed as bastions of civilization. Yet that peace is about to end. A distant empire has been conquering neighbours with highly trained soldiers and sophisticated combat techniques. And the city states are its desirable new prize. Only the ageing Stenwold Maker – spymaster, artificer and statesman – foresees the threat, as the empires’ armies march ever closer. So it falls upon his shoulders to open the eyes of the cities’ leaders.

Histoire
This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact.

Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms - the cheela-living on Dragon's Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers.

Description
The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. His Culture books combine breathtaking imagination with exceptional storytelling, and have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre.
Two and a half millennia ago in a remote corner of space, beside a trillion-year-old dying sun from a different universe, the artifact appeared.
It was a perfect black-body sphere, and it did nothing. Then it disappeared.
Now it is back.
Diplomat Genar-Hofoen of Special Circumstances is sent to investigate but, sidetracked by an old flame and the spoiled-brat operative Ulver Seich, and faced with the systematic depravities of a race who call themselves the Affront, it's anyone's guess whether he'll succeed . . .

Great fun.
Less cerebral than some of his other works but also funnier. The Culture is a paradise but humans (and machine minds) easily tilt towards militarism when the unknown presents itself in the form of an « Excession ». The grand overall scale mixed with personal viewpoints render the whole experience very entertaining and interesting. Highly recommended. The Narrator does a very good job.

Amazing story and performance
Peter Kenney does a great job of delivering Banks' Culture books, though I have never read them before. I feel like he delivers the narrative in a way that brings the world to life, I could live without some of his higher pitch drone voices, but it does do well to differentiate characters.
As for the story, I do not think I will ever be able to approach sci-fi the same again after listening to the Culture series. Even on the most basic of concepts, Banks delivers not only what one might expect but far more, and more often than not in such an imaginative way.

The narrator Peter Kenny is terrible
This is not reading, it is overacting, and terribly bad. Hard to understand the words with all the accents and misplaced theatrical diction.

Exactly what I was looking for
Made my road trip far more endurable, basically only stopped listening to sleep. I really liked how it expanded on the culture world building, but also it would be a fine book in the series to start with.

Fun Culture Tale, Great Narration
Peter Kenny is a great narrator and really brings the Culture to life.
This was a fun story, which involved so many more Culture ships, Minds, and their interactions compared to previous entries. You get a much better picture of what the Culture is, and how unimportant humans are, although they still can be.
