A stunning new reissue edition of Matter - a space opera of
stunning power and awesome imagination from Iain M. Banks, one of
the most important and influential writers in modern science
fiction. In 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. Only 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.
Concealing 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. Praise for the Culture series 'Epic in scope,
ambitious in its ideas and absorbing in its execution' Independent
on Sunday 'Banks has created one of the most enduring and endearing
visions of the future' Guardian 'Jam-packed with extraordinary
invention' Scotsman 'Compulsive reading' Sunday Telegraph The
