Description

In a world renowned within a galaxy full of wonders, a crime within a war. For one brother it means a desperate flight, and a search for the one - maybe two - people who could clear his name. For his brother it means a life lived under constant threat of treachery and murder. And for their sister, it means returning to a place she'd thought abandoned forever. Only the sister is not what she once was; Djan Seriy Anaplian has become an agent of the Culture's Special Circumstances section, charged with high-level interference in civilisations throughout the greater galaxy. Concealing her new identity - and her particular set of abilities - might be a dangerous strategy. In the world to which Anaplian returns, nothing is quite as it seems; and determining the appropriate level of interference in someone else's war is never a simple matter.

Professional reviews

"'Confirms Banks as the standard by which the rest of SF is judged.' THE GUARDIAN 'His wry character observations are a joy to read, and the book has a rich seam of humour... this long-awaited return for both a writing legend and his finest creation is a delight.' SFX 'A searing inquiry into justified warfare and the dangers of imposing your ideas of civilisation, told at a rattling pace with breathtaking set pieces and oodles of wit and charm.' SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY 'Unexpectedly savage, emotionally powerful and impossible to forget.' THE TIMES"
