This is classic Iain Banks. The basic premise is that there are many many universes deriving from the same start point but where different things occur in different places. Some people are able to transition from one universe to another and this story is about the fights they have with one another. This could easily be an Iain M Banks book and counter acts the impression that his recent mainstream books have been just too mainstream. I really liked this book not quite a Whit or a Use Of Weapons but definitely not a Steep Approach to Garbadale either. Also lots of really imaginative ways to torture, kill or have sex with people. For this reason bizarre unsolved crimes should probably be blamed on Iain B.
8/10
