Publisher's Summary
In a world renowned even within a galaxy full of wonders, a crime within a war. For one man it means a desperate flight, and a search for the one - maybe two - people who could clear his name. For his brother it means a life lived under constant threat of treachery and murder. And for their sister, even without knowing the full truth, it means returning to a place she'd thought abandoned forever.
Only the sister is not what she once was; Djan Seriy Anaplian has changed almost beyond recognition to become an agent of the Culture's Special Circumstances section, charged with high-level interference in civilizations throughout the greater galaxy.
Concealing her new identity - and her particular set of abilities - might be a dangerous strategy, however. In the world to which Anaplian returns, nothing is quite as it seems; and determining the appropriate level of interference in someone else's war is never a simple matter.
Matter is a novel of dazzling wit and serious purpose. An extraordinary feat of storytelling and breathtaking invention on a grand scale, it is a tour de force from a writer who has turned science fiction on its head.

Another fantastic Culture book
Although the Culture itself seems almost tangential to the story, with only a couple characters associated with it. a great book on life and perspective, wrapped in a fascinating shell of SciFi. I did miss Peter Kenny as narrator, but Toby Longworth did great.

One of the best by a genius
We lost Banks far too soon. He should have outlived the Culture.
Among the best space opera ever written.
Narrator was excellent; calm yet engaging.
