if you like that a bit more it gives Banks greater freedom from Character Perspective when he narrates and allows him to bring a universe much like the Culture's back to life in 1 book, weaving all the nuances of almost a dozen Culture Novels into a new pattern and then deftly anchoring the story line into yet another complicated weave of flashbacks, character flaws and subtle, underplayed pivoting climaxes in the plot that make the reader double guess what was just read, and attempt to re-read back.
But honestly if you really do like the range and depth of the story telling, and this story, is meta-told by a character from the story. I love the Culture Novels SO much so I may be twisted to recommend more Banks, when reading.
Might also enjoy the Saga of the Seven Suns (the Hydrogues, Gas giant bad-guys). Sounds like the the behemothaur Yoleus in Look to Windward.
Banks ( dkell圓04) dkell圓04: Gas Giant Creatures, Ancient Air-Based Intelligences, that don't bother anyone and have existed for billions of years.
