A stunning new reissue edition of Look to Windward - a space opera of stunning power and awesome imagination from Iain M. Banks, one of the most important and influential writers in modern science fiction.

It was one of the less glorious incidents of a long-ago war.

It led to the destruction of two suns and the billions of lives they supported.

Now, eight hundred years later, the light from the first of those ancient mistakes has reached the Culture Orbital, Masaq.

The light from the second may not.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Banks is a phenomenon: the wildly successful, fearlessly creative author of brilliant and disturbing non-genre novels, he's equally at home writing pure science fiction of a perculiarly gnarly energy and elegance * William Gibson *
There is now no British SF writer to whose work I look forward with greater keenness * THE TIMES *
Poetic, humourous, baffling, terrifying, sexy - the books of Iain M. Banks are all these things and more * NME *

This was a little different to the other novels in this series, the ones that I've read anyway, as it was more about what has happened that what is actually happening. I really enjoyed the concept of the... More

“Feels like a spiritual successor to the first Culture book, Consider Phlebas”

In the fallout of the Idiran War, in which one side destroyed 2 suns, killing billions, the light of those explosions is now reaching the Orbital of Masaq. It feels like a spiritual successor to the first Culture... More
