Look to Windward

Iain M. Banks

In Look to Windward, 800 years after a horrific war, the light from an explosion is about to reach the Culture's Masaq' Orbital, where 50 billion inhabitants gather to reflect on the deaths of the innocent. Major Quilan, an emissary from a war-ravaged world, arrives with a mission that has far-reaching consequences. This immersive novel delves into the wildly original civilization of the Culture, hailed as "an excellent hopping-on point" for new readers of Iain M. Banks' SF novels.
