This book is part of the Culture series from Mr Banks, it moves along as two time lines, in alternative chronological directions, for the most part. There is a twist in the story at the end, which can be anticipated from a few earlier clues. I can't say any more without spoiling the plot. If you like alternative SciFi based on characters rather than gadgets, I can recommend this story.

Iain Banks Culture series is compelling and so well written. These are all time classics.

I've been devouring the Culture novels in random order. I saw a character describe himself 'with his real name' as Zakalwe at the end of Surface Detail. How lovely to find Use of Weapons, then.
