| Rakesh, aBmnPnPid | | I love him and, uh, - (4/5) | I love him and, uh, hate him. Read your piece in the Grauniad and enjoyed it very much. In this cctneonion, I had brunch with Johnny Marr in Los Angeles last week and was reminded what a mensch he is: as humble and grounded as he is bright and brilliant. No reason why Steven Patrick shouldn't be like that too. But he isn't. |
| Description | The Twin Novae battle had been one of the last of the Idiran war, and one of the most horrific: desperate to avert their inevitable defeat, the Idirans had induced two suns to explode, snuffing out worlds and biospheres teeming with sentient life. Now, eight hundred years later, light from the first explosion is about to reach the Masaq' Orbital, home to the Culture's most adventurous and decadent souls. There it will fall upon Masaq's 50 billion inhabitants, gathered to commemorate the deaths of the innocent and to reflect, if only for a moment, on what some call the Culture's own complicity in the terrible event. Also journeying to Masaq' is Major Quilan, an emissary from the war-ravaged world of Chel. In the aftermath of the conflict that split his world apart, most believe he has come to Masaq' to bring home Chel's most brilliant star and self-exiled dissident, the honored Composer Ziller. Ziller claims he will do anything to avoid a meeting with Major Quilan, who he suspects has come to murder him. But the Major's true assignment will have far greater consequences than the death of a mere political dissident, as part of a conspiracy more ambitious than even he can know -- a mission his superiors have buried so deeply in his mind that even he cannot remember it. | | Release Date | 2001 | | Author | Iain Banks | | Format | Dimensions 12.8x20.0x2.6 cm
