At the heart of an epic galactic conflict between the fanatical Idirans and the communist Culture, Horza, a Changer, finds himself at the center of the fray. The Culture, made up of humans ruled by the Mind machines they have created, faces the Idirans in a war that spans the galaxy. In this cosmic context, an individual quest leads Horza to a legendary labyrinth on a desolate world, a Planet of the Dead forbidden to mortals, where a fugitive Mind lies. Both the Culture and the Idirans seek it, and the fate of Horza and his motley crew of mercenaries, human and machine, is to find it, even if it means their own destruction.
