À propos de cet audio
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.
'Banks is a phenomenon' William Gibson
War rages across the galaxy. Billions have died, billions more are doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, face cold-blooded, brutal destruction. The Idirans fight for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles are at stake. There can be no surrender.
Within this cosmic conflict, a crucial battle of wits is waged. Deep within a fabled labyrinth, on a Planet of the Dead forbidden to mortals, lies a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans desperately seek it. It is the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, to actually find it - and with it their own destruction.

A decent opening to the Culture series. Occurs on the fringe of a galactic war between the AI utopian Culture and a militant theocratic biological species. Nothing particularly mindblowing occurs, but it's a cool world, and fairly action packed.
Decent series opener

An interesting milieu story

To do that, an author needs the trust and confidence of the reader - and to gain that trust and confidence, the author must demonstrate that they can handle the task they are set about. It ultimately doesn't matter whether Banks can succeed in convincing readers that the Culture is a force for good if those same readers have quit the book in frustration.

Mis-fire

With all apologies to Peter Kenny, his breathy, hushed, rushed delivery effectively killed my desire to listen to audiobooks for the time being.
Indeed, I could not even finish this one and stopped 20 minutes shy of completion.
Perhaps it’s just that his style is so in contrast with my own internal narration when I read that it just disagreed with me personally.
Grand story, but...
