Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The third Culture novel from the awesome imagination of Iain M. Banks, a modern master of science fiction. The man known as Cheradenine Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances' foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks or military action. The woman known as Diziet Sma had plucked him from obscurity and pushed him towards his present eminence, but despite all their dealings she did not know him as well as she thought. The drone known as Skaffen-Amtiskaw knew both of these people. It had once saved the woman's life by massacring her attackers in a particularly bloody manner. It believed the man to be a burnt-out case. But not even its machine intelligence could see the horrors in his past. 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 The Culture series: Consider Phlebas The Player of Games Use of Weapons The State of the Art Excession Inversions Look to Windward Matter Surface Detail The Hydrogen Sonata Other books by Iain M. Banks: Against a Dark Background Feersum Endjinn The Algebraist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Original o primera edición
Octavo, pictorial wrappers. Advance readers copy of the first edition. The third novel set in the "Culture" universe, preceded by CONSIDER PHLEBAS (1987) and THE PLAYER OF GAMES (1988). Part of a series of sophisticated space operas in which the Culture, a technologically advanced human civilization "governed by vast, wry AIs called Minds" uses mercenaries, spies and assassins to change the destiny of planets with "lower" civilizations to suit the Culture, though intrigue, dirty tricks or military action. "USE OF WEAPONS -- constructed with some of the savage inhibiting intricacy of WALKING ON GLASS -- addresses the question of Culture guilt for its manipulation of races not yet free of scarcity-bound behavior; its portrayal of the relationship between a Culture woman and the psychically scarred mercenary in her employ is tough-minded, and provides no easy answers. It is generally thought to be one of the finest Culture novels." - John Clute (SFE online). Broderick and Di Filippo, Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 #17. A fine copy. (#163962).

Each volume in the correct, unclipped dustjacket, and all Near Fine or better but for three volumes (Use of Weapons with some minor wrinkling at lower inch of spine panel, Excession with a faint, shallow dampstain to base of spine [noticeable only on verso], and Surface Detail with some moderate shelfwear overall Very Good+). Complete set of the Scottish author's sprawling ten-volume Culture series. "The books focus on the titular Culture, a utopian, post-scarcity space society that is humanoid in nature but did not originate on Earth. The stories revolve around how the Culture wields their enormous political and technological power to shape the evolution of societies across the universe. The Culture society is made up of humanoids, aliens, and very advanced artificial intelligence living in 'man-made' habitats spread across the galaxy. The main theme of the novels is the dilemmas that an idealistic hyperpower faces in dealing with civilizations that do not share its ideals, and whose behavior the Culture feels it is in the greater interest of the universe to change" ("The Culture: An Introduction." Blog post: The Quill to Live, May 17, 2021). A challenging set to complete, seldom offered in commerce. Barron, Anatomy of Wonder II-72, 73, 75.
