Another stunning ‘Cultureâ novel combining science fiction on a universal scale and surprisingly funny dialogue. Wormholes link places many light years apart but the one on the planet Ulbrus has been destroyed. While they wait for it to be fixed Fassin Taak, a Slow Seer, hears from a race of near immortals of a whole undiscovered network of wormholes. When the news leaks out 2 huge battle fleets descend on the planet. Wonderful space opera.
Comparison: Peter F Hamilton, Greg Bear.
