About this listen
The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. With breathtaking imagination and extraordinary storytelling, they have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre.
Count Sessine is about to die for the very last time . . .
Chief Scientist Gadfium is about to receive the mysterious message she has been awaiting from the Plain of Sliding Stones . . .
Bascule the Teller, in search of an ant, is about to enter the chaos of the crypt . . .
This is the time of the encroachment and everything is about to change. Although the dimming sun still shines on the vast, towering walls of Serehfa Fastness, the end is close at hand. The King knows it, his closest advisers know it, and the crypt knows it too; so an emissary has been sent - an emissary who holds the key to all their futures.

Critic reviews
"Another truly impressive piece of work from the pen of a master storyteller" (Starburst)
"Dazzlingly original" (Daily Mail)
"Banks is a phenomenon: the widly 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)

One of my favorite Banks novel
It is an odd one, and quite different from other Banks works, but it is still charming, poetic and beautiful like most Banks writings. It is blows your imagination and contains countless thought provoking ideas. Banks like nobody else knows how to create world that awe you at scale, details and weird oddness, and this is true in this novel than even some of the Culture novels.
Regarding Audio version of this book - it is absolutely perfect in every sense. Love a combination of my favorite Sci-fi writer with my favorite narrator. Peter Kenny absolutely nails all the characters and atmosphere of the book, in my head Peter's voice is Banks's voice.
Also I strongly recommend for everyone to read this specific book in Audio format - text version contains sections written phonetically (sections from a perspective of a dyslexic child) which might be somewhat difficult to get though in text, but transformed to a charming quirky accent in audio version making it much much more accessible.
