The Gzilt, a civilization affiliated with the Culture, is only days away from leaving this reality for the Sublime, a condition of intense, hyper-real wonderfulness, when some of the Culture s self-aware spaceships catch hints that the Gzilt s decision to enter the Sublime may be based on a hoax. Vyr Cossont, a young, four-armed Gzilt musician, falls into the conflict as ships and their avatars try to figure out what s going on and then decide what to do about it, while powerful opponents attempt to stall the inquiry until time runs out. The action tumbles along at a dizzying pace, bouncing among a fascinating array of characters and locales. It s easy to see why Banks s fertile, cheerfully nihilistic imagination and vivid prose have made the Culture space operas bestsellers and award favorites.

The Scavenger species are circling. It is, truly, provably, the End Days for the Gzilt civilization.

An ancient people, organized on military principles and yet almost perversely peaceful, the Gzilt helped set up the Culture ten thousand years earlier and were very nearly one of its founding societies, deciding not to join only at the last moment. Now they've made the collective decision to follow the well-trodden path of millions of other civilizations; they are going to Sublime, elevating themselves to a new and almost infinitely more rich and complex existence.

Amid preparations though, the Regimental High Command is destroyed. Lieutenant Commander (reserve) Vyr Cossont appears to have been involved, and she is now wanted -- dead, not alive. Aided only by an ancient, reconditioned android and a suspicious Culture avatar, Cossont must complete her last mission given to her by the High Command. She must find the oldest person in the Culture, a man over nine thousand years old, who might have some idea what really happened all that time ago.

It seems that the final days of the Gzilt civilization are likely to prove its most perilous.

Banks' Culture series is a potboiler of intergalactic intrigue. Consider Phlebas opens near the start of a far-ranging war between two humanoid factions: the religious, technology-disdaining Iridans and The Culture, who are morally ambiguous and technology-dependent. Tasked with capturing a Culture intelligence agent, shape-shifting Iridan Bora Horza Gobuchul zips from one tense misadventure to another. Writing with great authority and imagination—and with a scope reminiscent of the sprawl of William Gibson's Neuromancer—Phlebas plunges readers into a thrillingly dark new universe."},"genreNames":["Adventure Sci-Fi","Books","Sci-Fi & Fantasy","Science Fiction","High Tech Sci-Fi","Science Fiction"],"isIBook":false,"isPreorder":false,"isbn":"9780316095839","name":"Consider Phlebas","offers":[{"assets":[{"flavor":"publication","size":3095152}],"buyParams":"productType=PUB&price=9990&salableAdamId=357662058&pricingParameters=STDQ&pg=default","currencyCode":"USD","price":9.99,"priceFormatted":"$9.99","type":"buy"}],"primaryLocale":"en-US","releaseDate":"2009-12-01","seriesInfo":{"seriesName":"Culture"},"url":"https://books.apple.com/us/book/consider-phlebas/id357662058","userRating":{"ariaLabelForRatings":"4.1 stars","ratingCount":603,"ratingCountList":[25,30,91,168,289],"value":4.1}},"relationships":{"authors":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/books/357662058/authors?l=en-US","data":[{"id":"305058316","type":"authors","href":"/v1/catalog/us/authors/305058316?l=en-US","attributes":{"editorialArtwork":{},"genreNames":["Science Fiction"],"mediaType":"Audiobooks","name":"Iain M.

Two fearless young sisters have assumed control of a powerful spaceship, but it seems they’ve made some deadly enemies along the way. Their maverick crew will need all the cunning in the galaxy to survive when they’re chased by a fleet commanded by a complete psychopath. We loved Bone Silence for its imaginative blend of hard science fiction and operatic space fantasy—as well as its quirky use of totally unexpected items, from old-fashioned telephones to space radios made out of alien skulls. This epic story works as a stand-alone adventure, but trust us, you’ll want to read the first two in the series, Revenger and Shadow Captain, as soon as you’re done. We wish we could stay forever inside Reynolds’ strange, exotic world...even with its creepy space-Frankenstein henchmen.

The fact that Adrana and Fura Ness are sisters doesn’t mean they share a moral compass; their clashing agendas power this pageturner.

Banks' Culture series is a potboiler of intergalactic intrigue. Consider Phlebas opens near the start of a far-ranging war between two humanoid factions: the religious, technology-disdaining Iridans and The Culture, who are morally ambiguous and technology-dependent. Tasked with capturing a Culture intelligence agent, shape-shifting Iridan Bora Horza Gobuchul zips from one tense misadventure to another. Writing with great authority and imagination—and with a scope reminiscent of the sprawl of William Gibson's Neuromancer—Phlebas plunges readers into a thrillingly dark new universe."},"genreNames":["Adventure Sci-Fi","Books","Sci-Fi & Fantasy","Science Fiction","High Tech Sci-Fi","Science Fiction"],"isIBook":false,"isPreorder":false,"isbn":"9780316095839","name":"Consider Phlebas","offers":[{"assets":[{"flavor":"publication","size":3095152}],"buyParams":"productType=PUB&price=9990&salableAdamId=357662058&pricingParameters=STDQ&pg=default","currencyCode":"USD","price":9.99,"priceFormatted":"$9.99","type":"buy"}],"primaryLocale":"en-US","releaseDate":"2009-12-01","seriesInfo":{"seriesName":"Culture"},"url":"https://books.apple.com/us/book/consider-phlebas/id357662058","userRating":{"ariaLabelForRatings":"4.1 stars","ratingCount":603,"ratingCountList":[25,30,91,168,289],"value":4.1}},"relationships":{"authors":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/books/357662058/authors?l=en-US","data":[{"id":"305058316","type":"authors","href":"/v1/catalog/us/authors/305058316?l=en-US","attributes":{"editorialArtwork":{},"genreNames":["Science Fiction"],"mediaType":"Audiobooks","name":"Iain M.

I almost got the feeling that the author was trying to make a point - either to show those people who complain about what have been called \"female SC agent and drone\" story lines, or that he got sick of people asking for books about subliming and decide to write one.\n\nThere were some interesting ideas explored, admittedly, and I can't say it was badly written in any way, I just didn't find myself particularly interested in finding out what happened next and turning the page.\n\nThen again, I don't much like \"Consider Phlebas\", which many fans love most of all, and greatly enjoyed \"Excession\", which some have likened to reading an e-mail exchange (one which apparently prevents it from appearing in electronic form, I'm assuming), so maybe I'm just weird.","title":"Disappointing","userName":"awrc"}},{"id":"677630769","type":"user-reviews","attributes":{"date":"2012-10-20T22:44:28Z","rating":5,"review":"Great space opera, one of the best in the Culture series.

If not, this is not the place to start. Read:\n\nConsider Phlebas\nUse of Weapons\nPlayer of Games\nExcession\n\nThe first first, the last last, and the other two in any order. (This is roughly chronological order, and the order of publication too IIRC.) These are in m opinion the best of the Culture novels and give you a pretty good idea of the setting. They also cover the general span of Culture vs. slightly inferior civ, Culture vs. lower tech, and Culture vs. higher tech (first, two middle, and last).\n\nBanks has still not managed to produce a good book about The Culture really having to grapple with an equivalently capable civilization. This book represents, by my counting, the third such attempt.\n\nThis is the most successful attempt, thus far, at pitting The Culture against equivalent tech adversaries, the missing piece as far as I see it (we've had solid installments dealing with how the Culture runs roughshod over far inferior Civs, and its generally unsuccessful encounter with significantly superior tech in Excession, but two recent novels featuring equivalent or near equivalent Civs have been weak).\n\nOnce again, Banks delivers a new gimmicky kind of world, the Sculpt world, although the gimmick isn't terribly interesting or convincing, and it doesn't really affect the story (very much unlike the shell world in Surface detail).\n\nAlso, once again we have the virtuoso practitioner of an obscure art form (in this case a musician who has altered her body to play a ridiculous piece of music with a ridiculous instrument) as a semi-willing protagonist.\n\nAnd once again, when the chips are down, the equivalent tech adversaries really aren't.\n\nFor a change, the story isn't entirely built around getting the main character from point A to B while ships do fun stuff, although there's still quite a bit of that.\n\nAnd finally, Banks tackles the concept of Sublimation head-on (it's the central thread of the story) but ultimately reveals little. In the end, there's not much Banks can say about it, but the little that is said is surprisingly colorless and uninteresting.\n\nIf you like Banks, this is worth reading. If not, I've probably already put you off.","title":"A solid installment in the Culture series","userName":"Passepartout"}},{"id":"697731852","type":"user-reviews","attributes":{"date":"2012-11-26T02:02:15Z","rating":5,"review":"I love Banks' books, they are thought provoking and require the reader to watch for subtle moves.
