Review of 'Against a Dark Background'

Against a Dark Background by Iain M. Banks
A 'Culture' book

An exciting novel following the young woman Sharrow as she runs for her life (starting from the very first page) and at the same time is in search of an artifact that will get her pursuers off her back. She gathers her troupe from her previous military experience and sets off with her bitter half-sister doing nothing to persuade her. A fantastic story full of human interest, self-reflection, action and wonder. Another easy read from Mr. Banks.

Rating: “Really good but I have some issues”


Genre: Science Fiction
