Iain M. Banks
À propos de cette écoute
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.
The Culture - a utopian human-machine symbiotic society - has thrown up many expert Game Players, and one of the greatest is Jernau Morat Gurgeh. He is Master of every board, computer and strategy - he is The Player of Games.
Bored with success, Gurgeh travels to the cruel and incredibly wealthy Empire of Azad to try their infamous game . . . a game so complex, so like life itself, that the winner becomes emperor. Mocked, blackmailed, almost murdered, Gurgeh plays the game, and faces the challenge of his life - and very possibly his death.

Quality as expected
Once again Banks strikes a fine balance.
Serious enough for you to think, light enough for you to enjoy a good story.
Banks' heroes are a very strong selling point. Likeable, relatable enough so you may identify with them. Superficial and simple enough so they can also be archetypes of behaviours.
Props also to the narrator who makes you remember some lines just like in a movie.
Im giving five stars for the very pleasing style, nice plot build up and story cohesion. Its really a four and a half due to being less of an epic masterpiece than Consider Phlebas, save the last chapters.
It still is very good, very nice flowing, go buy it.
