Query: Start of the journey

First of the culture books, this was my starting point recently. I enjoyed the story enough that I'm buying a few more of Banks' books to continue the journey.Slightly dark, with a few good twists and turns. Besides the section with "The Eaters" being a little too dragged out and seeming to be kind of a dead end, I enjoyed it from cover to cover.
