A stunning new reissue edition of the second Culture novel from
Iain M. Banks - one of the most important and influential writers
in modern science fiction. The Culture - a human/machine symbiotic
society - has thrown up many great Game Players, and one of the
greatest is Gurgeh. Jernau Morat Gurgeh. The Player of Games.
Master of every board, computer and strategy. Bored with success,
Gurgeh travels to the Empire of Azad, cruel and incredibly wealthy,
to try their fabulous game ... a game so complex, so like life
itself, that the winner becomes emperor. Mocked, blackmailed,
almost murdered, Gurgeh accepts the game, and with it the challenge
of his life - and very possibly his death. 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

Also now available: The Culture: The Drawings - an extraordinary

sketchbooks Banks kept in the 1970s and 80s, depicting the ships,
habitats, geography, weapons and language of Banks' Culture series
of novels in incredible detail.
