Description

Imagine a world that is one of infinite parallel worlds, that hangs suspended between triumph and catastrophe, the dismantling of the Wall and the fall of the Twin Towers, in the shadow of suicide terrorism and global financial collapse. Presiding over this world is the Concern, an all-powerful organisation whose operatives possess extraordinary powers. There is Temudjin Oh, an unkillable assassin who journeys between the high passes of Nepal, a version of Victorian London and a wintry Venice; Adrian Cubbish, restlessly greedy City trader; and the Philosopher, a state-sponsored torturer who moves between the time zones with sinister ease.

Professional reviews

"A high-definition, hyper-real apocalyptic fable for our times, from the master story-teller Iain Banks 'Baroque, digressive, kinetic, teeming with big ideas and grand theories, it's a novel to get lost in… gripping’ THE TIMES 'Stunning… tackles the issues of the responsibility of power, the moral implications of intervention and even the philosophical conundrum of what constitutes life itself.’ INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY"
