I got hooked on Ian Banks after reading The Wasp Factory and The Crow Road and some friends suggested I try out his sci-fi novels. I can't really say I enjoyed this one. It's got an unbearably cool title though.

This is the paperback edition (same cover as shown). I got it from a second hand bookshop, so it's a bit creased and dog-eared - nothing serious though. A couple of my friends have their eye on this copy, but I'll release it at The Nag's Head if there aren't any takers.
