Consider Phlebas
Description
"We'll all be fine. We'll all be perfectly fine."
That's what you tell those you lead into battle, perhaps even to their deaths. Whether they fight with stone hand axes or fusion bombs.
Bora Horza Gobuchul, a Changer, says the same before a dangerous mission in the tunnels beneath Schar's World, where a fugitive Mind hides, potentially holding knowledge vital to the war.
A war is raging across the galaxy between the Culture and the Idiran Empire, massive orbital constructs are exploding, and the death toll is in the billions.
You'll need that reassurance: mostly because, in reality, nothing and no one will be fine.
Consider Phlebas is the opening novel of the Culture series by the phenomenal sci-fi author Iain M. Banks. It is as much a grand space adventure as it is a poignant reflection on fragility and mortality.
