novel...
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.

Recenzii
"This
rich,
sweeping
panorama
of
heroism
and
folly
celebrates
the
25th
anniversary
of
the
Culture,
Banks's
far-future
semi-utopian
society....
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."—Publishers
Weekly
"One of Banks' best Culture novels to date."—BooklistonThe Hydrogen Sonata
"It's fantastically good fun that throws in some big ideas about life, the universe and everything, and like the unabashed leftie that he is, Banks manages to get in there a few sizable shots at unthinking, dogmatic religiosity for good measure."—SciFi Now
"Banks's charming prose and the scale of his imagination continue to delight Culture vultures."—SFX
"The Culture, the post-scarcity, hedonistic, Machiavellian, libertarian, arse-kicking science-fiction society created by the late Iain M. Banks...one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the future."—The Guardian
"Incomparable entertainment, with fascinating and highly original characters, challenging ideas and extrapolations, and dazzling action...sheer delight."—Kirkus Reviews
