Last Hope Heroine

‘Confirms Banks as the standard by which the rest of SF is judged.’ – Guardian

This dazzling book is the first Culture novel from Iain M. Banks for eight years! It is a tour de force of brilliant storytelling, world-building and imagination.

There was nobody of her own kind within several thousand light years of where Djan Seriy Anaplian sat. However, news from her home world of Sursamen will still reach her. Anaplian is a member of Special Circumstances – a troubleshooter for the Culture. Special Circumstances get to hear about most things.

But the news is not good. Her father and brother have died in the latest war against a neighbouring kingdom. Anaplian must journey home but, while she does so, another will seek her out. For someone on Sursamen believes her to be their last hope. What neither of them know is that she might also be the last hope for the entire world . . .
