Consider Phlebas is Iain M. Banks’s first Culture novel, a fast-moving space opera set during the vast Idiran–Culture War. It follows Bora Horza Gobuchul, a shape-changing mercenary who opposes the Culture and is sent to recover a fugitive Mind from a forbidden planet. Violent, witty and expansive, the novel introduces Banks’s post-scarcity civilisation from an outsider’s hostile perspective, mixing adventure, moral complexity and spectacular galactic destruction.
