Whit Iain Bainks

Iain Banks is one of my favourite authors and this is most definitely one of his best 'light' reads. Isis or Is, as she is referred to, is part of a religious cult sent out into 'Babylondon' to track down a 'missionary' who's disappeared off the radar and seems to be having too much fun in the unclean world of the 'unsaved'. Hilarious and excellent observational the world around us. A great read for Banks' fans and a great introduction to his non SF work.

For those expecting the more common, dark, surreal and disturbing world of Banks, this is not for you.
