Banks, a modern master of science fiction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a world renowned within a galaxy full of wonders, a crime within a war. For one man 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcealing 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for the Culture series:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Epic in scope, ambitious in its ideas and absorbing in its execution' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndependent on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Banks has created one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the future' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Jam-packed with extraordinary invention' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eScotsman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Compulsive reading' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eSunday Telegraph \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Culture series:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConsider Phlebas\u003cbr\u003eThe Player of Games\u003cbr\u003eUse of Weapons\u003cbr\u003eThe State of the Art\u003cbr\u003eExcession\u003cbr\u003eInversions\u003cbr\u003eLook to Windward\u003cbr\u003eMatter\u003cbr\u003eSurface Detail\u003cbr\u003eThe Hydrogen Sonata\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther books by Iain M.
