Sinossi
Iain M. Banks' previous science fiction novel, EXCESSION, was a SUNDAY TIMES hardback and paperback bestseller, and was published to enormous popular and critical acclaim. Without doubt one of the most daring, imaginative and compelling writers of his generation, his new science fiction novel will be a major event in the 1998 publishing calendar.
In the winter palace, the King's 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.
In another palace across the mountains, in the service of the regicidal Protector General, the chief bodyguard too has his enemies. He also has at least one person he cares for deeply and who cares for him, though neither can risk saying so.
Spiralling round a central core of secrecy, deceit, love and betrayal, two stories - linked more closely than even those involved can know - climb to a devastating climax.

Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condizione: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Cover Art: Mark Salwowski (illustratore). 1st Edition. © 1998: 6th in the 'Culture' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing. Light tanning to text block & slight colour fade to cover spine:- Synopsis: Some years ago, rocks and fire fell from the sky and the old Empire fell with them. In the lands released from that crushing hegemony, a new world order is about to emerge. Two people in particular can see all this in a wider context. In the winter palace, the King's 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. In 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. Both the doctor and the bodyguard have at least one person they care for deeply and who cares for them. None of them, however, can risk saying so. This is the story of two stories. Spiralling round a central core of secrecy, deceit, love and betrayal - and linked more closely than even those involved can know - each climbs to its own devastating climax:- Review(s): "'Inversions' is a dazzling work of science fiction from an author writing at the height of his remarkable powers": Praise for Iain M Banks - "One of the most able, energetic and stimulating writers in the UK" - Time Out / "Staggering imaginative energy" - Independent / "Unfailing inventiveness and wit" - Guardian / "Sharp, witty and comprehensively terrifying" - Observer / "Poetic, humorous, baffling, terrifying, sexy - the books of Iain M Banks are all of these things and more" - NME:- (original cost £16.99).
