Publisher Description

The man known as Cheradenine Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances' foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks and military action.

The woman known as Diziet Sma had plucked him from obscurity and pushed him towards his present eminence, but despite all their dealings she did not know him as well as she thought.

The drone known as Skaffen-Amtiskaw knew both of these people. It had once saved the woman's life by massacring her attackers in a particularly bloody manner. It believed the man to be a lost cause. But not even its machine could see the horrors in his past.

Ferociously intelligent, both witty and horrific, USE OF WEAPONS is a masterpiece of science fiction.

Feel free to skip ahead

The first two books in the Culture series were good enough I bought this one without hesitation. Unfortunately, I found it disappointingly difficult to stay emotionally invested in the story, and while the ending did catch me by surprise, I could have skipped perhaps half the book and had an identical reaction. This was a disappointing installment of this series.
