    The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it....

    wendy says: "First story of Culture, told from outside"
    "A different kind of Sci-Fi"

    What did you love best about Consider Phlebas?

    It raised many interesting if not always comfortable ideas while maintaining a motivating pace (I listen while on the treadmill). The characters flaws and mistakes made the story more engaging. The end was fitting but not obvious, and unlike many sci-fi stories the conclusion was not abrupt or fantastical.
