Reviews

There is now no British SF writer to whose work I look forward with greater keenness
*THE TIMES*

In many ways his best yet... rich, vivid and great fun.
*VECTOR*

To say that Banks is Britain's best writer of science fiction would be to understate the case. He's simply one of our best novelists, whatever the genre. Read him
*BOOK PEOPLE*

At last SF as it should be written!... If you aren't as yet familiar with these works I urge you to become so at your earliest opportunity.
