I found this book at the Friends of the Winnipeg Public Library book sale. I realized when I got it home that I had listened to the audiobook previously. Dang, I hate when that happens. However, it will be a good book to wild release. Here's what I thought of the book when I finished listening to it:
hadn't read anything by Iain Banks before even though I enjoy science fiction so I thought I would give this audiobook a try. I didn't realize until I started it that it is the 10th book in a series about a space-faring nonhuman species. It's probably not a good idea to start that deep in a series although this story stood on its own fairly well.
The Gzilt, not technically part of the Culture but associated with it, have decided to Sublime. Although it is not quite clear what happens when a species sublime because very few people come back from it, generally it is believed that the species becomes part of a higher order of being. Generally, before a species sublimes any other species who has kept a secret from them confesses it. A species called the Zihdren planted a book that predicted the development of the Gzilt and, on the basis of this book, the Gzilt declined to join the Culture. Some of the authorities in the Gzilt do not want this secret to be divulged and they go to great lengths to prevent it.
Essentially, that is the story which is played out over the last few weeks before the Gzilt Sublime. Kind of interesting but not enough that I will try to read any other of this series.

When you find a BookCrossing book it is yours to do with what you like. You can read it and keep it or pass it on or if you don't think it is your kind of book pass it on to someone who might like it or release it in a spot for someone else to find like you just did. Whatever you choose it would be great if you could write a short note letting us know what new adventures the book is on.
