Use Of Weapons

A stunning reissue edition of the third Culture novel from the awesome imagination of Iain M. Banks, a modern master of science fiction

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

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

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

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.

Iain Banks (1954-2013) came to widespread and controversial public notice with the publication of his first novel, The Wasp Factory , in 1984. Consider Phlebas , his first science fiction novel, was published under the name Iain M. Banks in 1987 and began his celebrated ten-book Culture series. He is acclaimed as one of the most powerful, innovative and exciting writers of his generation.
