The first Culture novel from my favourite author in full retail beauty.

Consider Phlebas:
In the midst of a war between two galactic empires, a shapechanging agent of the Iridans
undertakes a clandestine mission to a forbidden planet in search of an intelligent, fugitive
machine whose actions could alter the course of the conflict. Banks demonstrates a talent
for suspense in a new wave sf novel that should appeal to fans of space adventure.

"Banks is a phenomenon: the wildly successful, fearlessly creative author of brilliant and
disturbing non-genre novels, he's equally at home writing pure science fiction of a peculiarly
gnarly energy and elegance" -William Gibson

"There is now no British SF writer to whose work I look forward with greater keenness"-The Times

"Poetic, humorous, baffling, terrifying, sexy - the books of Iain M. Banks are all these things
and more" -NME
