Inversions by Iain M. Banks7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Regarding the Bodyguard: both the Doctor and the Bodyguard were clearly from the Culture and had been intimately close before coming to the planet of the book. The other story was a little more complex, but intriguing with some colourful characters.Īn interesting tale of Culture intervening in less developed societies. I was strong drawn to the character of the Doctor, who was another of Iain M Banks strong female characters, and I enjoyed reading her tale. The story is not as connected as you would think, and only comes to a climax towards the very end. The second story is one of the opponents of the King, those who are trying to dispose him. The Doctor you know from the start is a Culture citizen, and she has a whole of host of Culture magic tricks which in addition to a good bed side manner she uses to keep her King well. The first is the story of the Doctor and the King. To recap The ten books of the Culture are: Consider Phlebas, 1987 The Player of Games,1988 Use of Weapons, 1990 The State of the Art, 1991 Excession, 1996 Inversions, 1998 Look to Windward,2000 Matter,2008 Surface Detail, 2010 The Hydrogen Sonata, 2012. ![]() ![]() I have read all of Iain M Banks books, and I read Inversions the year after it was first published in 1999, and it has stayed with me ever since. ![]()
