Matter by Iain M Banks
The dazzling new Culture novel from one of the most exciting science-fiction writers of modern times - a tour de force of brilliant storytelling, world-building and imagination.
You can always expect the unexpected with an Iain MBanks novel. So sit back and enjoy a tale with more than a twist or three in Matter. For a start, it's a rattling good story: a man accused of something he didn't do. Lots of action, lots of mind-boggling imaginative thought in this excellent piece of SF, read by Toby Longworth * Daily Express *
You can, if you must, draw clever comparisons between the conflicts in Matter and what's happening in Iraq. Or you can just sit back and listen to Toby Longworth's tongue-in-cheek reading of a very funny book * The Guardian *
Widescreen, baroque science fiction . . . Another fine addition to Banks's Culture series * Guardian *
There is now no British SF writer to whose work I look forward with greater keenness * The Times *
