Excession

Excession is one of the novels I missed years ago when reading Iain Banks' Culture series. The main reason, I think, is that for along time it wasn't published in ebook format, I suspect due to formatting complexity. It just came out in ebook a couple of weeks ago, so I've finally been able to rectify the oversight. The Culture, if you're not familiar with Banks' books, is an interstellar society that is probably the closest thing in science fiction to heaven.
