This title in other formats:Look to Windwardby Iain M Banks
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Eight hundred years after the most horrific battle of the Idiran war, light from its world-destroying detonations is about to reach the Masaq Orbital, home to the Culture. Major Quilan has supposedly come to take the exiled Composer Ziller back to their war-ravaged home world, Chel. But despite the major's civilized veneer, his true mission may be the death and destruction of an entire civilization. Review:The New York Times Set in a far-future, multi-species galaxy rife with hope and despair, this sophisticated space opera deals artfully with the appeal of terrorism and the necessary dangers of a free society....Banks writes with a sophistication that will surprise anyone unfamiliar with modern science fiction. Review:Starburst Banks' mind-expanding future history is unrivaled for imaginative sweep, startling ideas, and savage but wry sense of humor. One of the very best just got even better. Review:Locus Look to Windward is a serious novel [yet] levity and humor seep through the cracks... it is elegant, moral, funny. What more could a reader ask?
