We find out what happened to Zakalwe on Fohls. It was not nice.

Sma and Skaffen recover from a party and go for an island cruise. 

Meanwhile The Culture goes nuclear around them!

Zakalwe goes to the beach, and we ask, is he a Gary Stu?

Skaffen and Sma go to a party on the Xenophobe and have a fight....

Zakalwe has a less pleasant visit to a castle and we ask if any aristocrat can be a good aristocrat?

Diziet gets out of bed and the Culture goes to the wild west to see just how scary a drone can be! 

In which we briefly meet an Ethnarch, and get a good look at just how stone cold cool this Zakalwe cat can be!

We meet Diziet Sma and spend a lot of time on how exactly she likes to bone.

And The Culture seems to be putting a lot more resources into this caper than we've seen before...

We start The Big One for Banks fans, a great whiskey is reviewed, and the scene is set for a wild ride with fortunately short chapters!

We wrap up Elon Musk's favourite book with a short chapter that ties up a couple of loose ends and really gets into non-binary love.
