Surface Detail Lededje Y'breq is one of the Intagliated, her marked body bearing witness to a family shame, her life belonging to a man whose lust for power is without limit. Prepared to risk everything for her freedom, her release, when it comes, is at a price, and to put things right she will need the help of the Culture. Matter In a world renowned within a galaxy full of wonders, a crime within a war. For one man it means a desperate flight, and a search for the one - maybe two - people who could clear his name. For his brother it means a life lived under constant threat of treachery and murder. And for their sister, it means returning to a place she'd thought abandoned forever. Consider Phlebas The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. Look To Windward It was one of the less glorious incidents of a long-ago war. It led to the destruction of two suns and the billions of lives they supported. Inversions IIn the winter palace, the King's new physician has more enemies than she at first realises. In another palace across the mountains, in the service of the regicidal Protector General, the chief bodyguard, too, has his enemies. Excession Two and a half millennia ago, the artifact appeared in a remote corner of space, beside a trillion-year-old dying sun from a different universe. The State of the Art The first ever collection of Iain Banks's short fiction, this volume includes the acclaimed novella, The State of the Art.
