The Player of Games

One of my favourite of Banks's 'Culture' novels only bettered by [b:Excession|12013|Excession (Culture, #5)|Iain M. Banks|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1288930712l/12013._SY75_.jpg|1494164] and [b:Look to Windward|12016|Look to Windward (Culture, #7)|Iain M. Banks|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1288930978l/12016._SY75_.jpg|124371]. A lot of fun, spoiled a bit by an overly neat ending but otherwise all nicely done.
