Look To Windward

A stunning new reissue edition of Look to Windward – a space opera of stunning power and awesome imagination from Iain M. Banks, one of the most important and influential writers in modern science fiction.

Now, eight hundred years later, the light from the first of those ancient mistakes has reached the Culture Orbital, Masaq.

The light from the second may not.
