Look to Windward fulfilled our highest expectations of the Culture of Iain M Banks, with its masterly fusion of SF "sense of wonder", sophisticated literary technique and engaging political commentary. And while we had read and loved your standalone SF novels, what we really wanted was a new story from the world of the Culture.
