Consider Phlebas or Player of Games. Both great sci-fi books by Iain Banks. Consider Phlebas would be an epic action/adventure, bordering on space opera. Player of Games is... I dunno how to describe it. Genius enters contest on far away alien planet sponsered by future version of CIA, on the premise of diplomatic outreach, but you know there's more to it.
I think I have Consider Phlebas. If not I’ll look for those two next time I’m at the used book store
