About The Hydrogen Sonata
<p>The Scavenger species are circling. It is, truly, the End Days for the Gzilt civilization. <br></p><p>An ancient people, organized on military principles and yet almost perversely peaceful, the Gzilt helped set up the Culture ten thousand years earlier and were very nearly one of its founding societies, deciding not to join only at the last moment. Now they've made the collective decision to follow the well-trodden path of millions of other civilizations; they are going to Sublime, elevating themselves to a new and almost infinitely more rich and complex existence. <br></p><p>Amid preparations though, the Regimental High Command is destroyed. Lieutenant Commander (reserve) Vyr Cossont appears to have been involved, and she is now wanted - dead, not alive. Aided only by an ancient, reconditioned android and a suspicious Culture avatar, Cossont must complete her last mission given to her by the High Command. She must find the oldest person in the Culture, a man over nine thousand years old, who might have some idea what really happened all that time ago. It seems that the final days of the Gzilt civilization are likely to prove its most perilous.</p>Review<p>"Scotland-resident Banks' Culture yarns, the science-fiction equivalent of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, brim with wit and wisdom, providing incomparable entertainment, with fascinating and highly original characters, challenging ideas and extrapolations, and dazzling action seamlessly embedded in a satirical-comedy matrix."<br></p><p>(<em>Kirkus Reviews</em> )<br></p><p>"This rich, sweeping panorama of heroism and folly celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Culture, Banks's far-future semi-utopian society.... The action tumbles along at a dizzying pace, bouncing among a fascinating array of characters and locales. It's easy to see why Banks's fertile, cheerfully nihilistic imagination and vivid prose have made the Culture space operas bestsellers and award favorites." (<em>Publishers Weekly</em> )<br></p><p>"One of Banks' best Culture novels to date." (<em>Booklist<em> on </em>The Hydrogen Sonata</em> )<br></p><p>Praise for <em>Surface Detail:</em><br></p><p>"Banks' ability to combine humor and horror, the cosmic and the human, as he builds an action-packed story on a moral framework, as well as his wonderfully original characters and, of course, the lavish descriptions of weapons and spaceships, makes <em>Surface Detail</em> all you could ask for in a space opera. Nobody does it better." (<em>Times </em>(UK) )<br></p><p>"This is an engrossing novel of ideas ornamented by fantastically cinematic set-pieces." (<em>The Guardian</em> (UK) )<br></p><p>"<em>Surface Detail</em> is the type of widescreen space adventure we've come to expect from Banks, full of elaborate games, spellchecker-busting names, salty dialogue and, above all, a thrilling sense of the limitless scope SF affords an author's imagination." (<em>Financial Times</em> (UK) )<br></p><p>"Banks' labyrinthine and devious ninth Culture space opera novel...adeptly shifts perspective between vast concepts and individual passions." (<em>Publishers Weekly</em> ) </p>About the Author<p>Iain Banks came to controversial public notice with the publication of his first novel, <em>The Wasp Factory</em>, in 1984. <em>Consider Phlebas</em>, his first science fiction novel, was published under the name Iain M. Banks in 1987. He is now widely acclaimed as one of the most powerful, innovative and exciting writers of his generation. Iain M. Banks lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. Find out more about Iain M.
