Hope it lives up to the advance billing. His last Culture novel, Look To Windward, is one of my favorite SF books. Looking forward to this one. Hope it lives up to the advance billing.

But i have to say that i thought The Algebraist was one of the best SF books i ever... and had no Culture in it at all... Its nice to get some news from the Culture...again. You just have to love the name of the ships..."GrayMatter/MeatFucker" is my personal all time hero... i agree whit Neil…

The illustrator is Debra Lill. Neil: my favourite Iain M. Banks novel keeps changing. I think one of the incredible things about Iain is his ability to change styles and genres from one novel to the next - and time and again conjure up something new and exciting. He's just written too many great books - we're spoiled for choice! There will definitely be signing events in the UK - we'll post details as soon as we have them. Thomas: glad you like it!

The last Culture novel, 'Look to Windward', was one of Iain M. Banks's greatest achievements in the sci-fi genre. Any plans, yet, for a signing tour?
