Media Reviews
Another truly impressive piece of work from the pen of a master storyteller. * STARBURST *
Dazzlingly original. * DAILY MAIL *
Banks is a phenomenon: the widly successful, fearlessly creative author of brilliant and disturbing non-genre novels, he's equally at home writing pure science fiction of a peculiarly gnarly energy and elegance. * WILLIAM GIBSON *
Sharp, witty, comprehensively terrifying. * OBSERVER *
