Baroque, digressive, kinetic, teeming with big ideas and grand theories, it's a novel to get lost in... gripping
One of Iain Banks's most imaginative and compelling novels yet
Iain Banks is gifted with wonderful fluency and dizzying imaginative flair
Wildly imaginative... A corker of a thriller, a classic good versus bad tale, and one which the author uses to tackle some seriously big moral and philosophical issues - but always in his typically light-handed and darkly humorous fashion... A book that makes you think, one that makes you look at the world around you in a different light, and it's also a properly thrilling read
An engrossing, futuristic fable with plenty to say about the here and now
A labyrinthine tale of great conception and craft... A memorable array of characters... Transition is awash with energy and dark wit
A highly readable and engrossing sci-fi thriller
Brilliantly compulsive
Transition is Banks at his exuberant, flamboyant, head-spinning best
