Beschreibung
The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. His Culture books combine breathtaking imagination with exceptional storytelling, and have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre. 'Banks is a phenomenon'. William Gibson Two and a half millennia ago in a remote corner of space, beside a trillion-year-old dying sun from a different universe, the artifact appeared. It was a perfect black-body sphere, and it did nothing. Then it disappeared. Now it is back. Diplomat Genar-Hofoen of Special Circumstances is sent to investigate but, sidetracked by an old flame and the spoiled-brat operative Ulver Seich, and faced with the systematic depravities of a race who call themselves the Affront, it's anyone's guess whether he'll succeed. 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.
