Banks pulls out all the stops in this gloriously
over-the-top, state-of-the-art space opera, a Hugo nominee in its
British edition. In a galaxy teeming with intelligent life-forms
and dominated by the intensely hierarchical society known as the
Mercatoria, the Ulubis system has been cut off from the rest of
civilization for over a century as its citizens impatiently await
the arrival of a starship carrying an artificial wormhole to
replace one destroyed in a previous war. Fassin Taak is a Slow
Seer, an anthropologist who studies the Dwellers, the ancient,
enigmatic species that inhabits gas giants throughout the galaxy,
including Nasqueron in the Ulubis system. Fassin's research
contains clues to the existence of a secret wormhole network, one
operated by the Dwellers and free from the repressive control of
the Mercatoria. Unfortunately, the monstrous ruler of a nearby star
system has also learned of this discovery, as has the Mercatoria
itself. Now two enormous battle fleets converge on Ulubis, and
Fassin must undertake a quest deep into Nasqueron to uncover the
Dwellers' secret. This is an enormously enjoyable book, full of
wonderful aliens, a sense of wonder and subtle political commentary
on current events.
