The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. His Culture books combine breathtaking imagination with exceptional storytelling, and have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre.

'Banks is a phenomenon' William Gibson

The man known as Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances' foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks or military action.

Though the woman known as Diziet Sma had plucked him from obscurity and aided his stratospheric rise, she did not know him as well as she thought.

The drone Ska­ffen-Amtiskaw thought it knew both of these people. It had once saved the woman's life by massacring her attackers, and it believed the man to be a burnt-out wreck - but not even its superlative machine-intelligence could see the horrors in his past.

Praise for the Culture series:

'Epic in scope, ambitious in its ideas and absorbing in its execution' Independent on Sunday

'Banks has created one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the future' Guardian

'Banks's sci-fi, at its best, is staggeringly inventive, beautifully written, dramatic and often very funny. His stories are packed with ideas, warships with minds very much of their own, alien races, charismatic drones and intergalactic politics' New Scientist

'Jam-packed with extraordinary invention' Scotsman

'Compulsive reading' Sunday Telegraph

Consider Phlebas
The Player of Games

The Culture series is marvellously written and to me it is great storytelling. Though Peter Kenny as narrator is really tearing it down. Please Mr. Kenny, it is absolutely unnessecary to search for what you may estimate the most hillarious voices for the characters. Better just stick to the melody of your own voice, it is good enough.

great novel, narrator hard to bear

I have been waiting literally years to get this Audiobook. Peter Kenny is now the voice of the Culture novels. Great performance and ecen though I had already read this book. It stayed Tense, Suspenceful and yet Lighthearted. Right up to the last second. What a story, read perfectly.

Amazing und Engaging

If you expect consider phlebas, this title is the wrong choice. this aint no epic timeless space opera!

it's almost impossible to follow this memento style plot after a full day of work.

but if u seek sophisticated complicated sci fi or willing to read the structure of this book as a reminder, you might be rewarded.

overly complicated

Story a little predictable. Storyline cut in half, one strain told forward the other backward. Needlessly confusing and not adding to the overall delight.

Chapter structure is confusing
