Banks, a modern master of science fiction.\nIn the winter palace, the Kings new physician has more enemies than she at first realises. But then she also has more remedies to hand than those who wish her ill can know about.\nIn another palace across the mountains, in the service of the regicidal Protector General, the chief bodyguard, too, has his enemies. But his enemies strike more swiftly, and his means of combating them are more traditional.\nSpiralling round a central core of secrecy, deceit, love and betrayal, INVERSIONS is a spectacular work of science fiction, brilliantly told and wildly imaginative, from an author who has set genre fiction alight.\nPraise for the Culture series:\nEpic in scope, ambitious in its ideas and absorbing in its execution Independent on Sunday\n\nBanks has created one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the future Guardian\n\nJam-packed with extraordinary invention Scotsman\n\nCompulsive reading Sunday Telegraph\nThe Culture series:\nConsider Phlebas\nThe Player of Games\nUse of Weapons\nThe State of the Art\nExcession\nInversions\nLook to Windward\nMatter\nSurface Detail\nThe Hydrogen Sonata\nOther books by Iain M.
