The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. With breathtaking imagination and extraordinary storytelling, they have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre.

Lady Sharrow was once the fearless leader of a combat team in one of the sporadic little commercial wars in the vicinity of the planet Golter. Now she is hunted by the Huhsz - a religious cult hellbent on assassinating her - and her only hope of escape is to ­find the last of the apocalyptically powerful Lazy Guns before the Huhsz track her down.

Her journey through the exotic Golterian system is a destructive and savage odyssey into her past, and that of her family and of the system itself.

Kritikerstimmen

"Imaginatively brilliant." (Daily Mail)

"Banks ain't kidding. He warned you up front that this is a dark novel." (Norman Spinrad)

"Few of us have been exposed to a talent so manifest and of such extraordinary breadth." (The New York Review of Science Fiction)

Peter Kenny is as always a superb narrator. The story is what I dislike about this title.
The main character is simply too passive. She does nothing. Everything happens to her. Everyone loves her and the world revolves around her. But she has nothing to give to it. She may as well be a rock, carried around by her loyal team of stereotypical misfits.
I think Ian is a great writer and writes great, thought out stories and conversations. This book contains little of those things. Mostly it’s describing the immature behaviour of the stereotypical misfits that worship the main character for no apparent reason.

I’m getting to old for this
