Details: (c) Iain M Banks 2004; Pub Orbit 2005; ISBN 1-84149-229-9
Verdict: The algebraist has some great moments sadly buried in verbiage.
Reasons for reading it: I generally like Banks' stuff, and a non-Culture space opera suited my mood when I picked this up.
How it came into my hands: Newcastle-under-Lyme library.
( detailed review )
Also, the book suffers from a sad lack of algebra!
