With apologies for the delay we are back with the third chapter of The Player of Games where we get to see just what rat bastards The Culture can be when they get going.

Getting deep and dirty into The Player of Games and really wondering what Elon Musk gets into in this tale of cruelty and perversion.

Chapter 2, Imperium asks a lot of questions and we do our best to answer them.

The Player of Games begins as we talk about the first chapter of this remarkable book and consider what games are really being played.

We come to an end of the journey for the first of The Culture books.

Fear not we shall return soon for The Player of Games.

It's a big episode with a big body count!

But finally we finish up in these goddamn tunnels! 

We get to learn a lot more about Idirans, and trains, in a chapter that spends a lot of time setting up the finale!

The drone makes some jokes, the Idirans are mean, and Yalson has a big surprise!

The KFC ventures deep under Schar's World, while through Fal's musings we learn the history of the Culture.

The KFC on the CAT finally makes it to Schar's World and Horza's misspent youth catches up with him.

A madcap escape, the arsenal of the end of the universe, a plucky drone, and the immense drag of being a galactic warlord with a young dude hitting on you.
