Prepare to Gland Woot
Iain M. Banks fans take note — SURFACE DETAIL is out in October, and here’s what you need to know: General Systems Vehicles, Special Circumstances, Orbitals. Plus Unfallen Bulbitians, Smatter, Hells and Intagliates.
For those of you who have no idea what we are talking about, don’t worry. It is never too late for you to join the Culture. You can start with SURFACE DETAIL.
In advance of the book’s release, it appears that the Culture is tweeting ship names. Or perhaps it’s an Iridian ruse. Whatever the case, it’s probably worth following. @_TheCulture_

awesome novel, have not laughed out so hard reading a book in a long, long time; so many quotable lines I could fill several pages…
one bad boy SC ship and one businessman from Hell (almost, not quite literally) just steal the show
“surprise me”

Will the Kindle version come out at the same time as the print edition?
