'Matter' reviewed by Lisa Tuttle for The Times
January 17th, 2008 in Global, Reviews
Highly-respected SF author Lisa Tuttle has reviewed Matter in The Times and had the following to say about the new Culture novel:
"The usual ingredients of a Culture novel are all here: lots of action, snippy drones, believable people, bizarre aliens, extreme violence, awesome weapons, silly names and sly jokes ... The conclusion is unexpectedly savage, emotionally powerful, and impossible to forget. Matter, it turns out, is not so much about the physical stuff as it is about what truly matters."
