Book Reviews of Use of Weapons
Book Review: A mercenary of The Culture is haunted by past horrors
Summary: 4 Stars
A very dark novel as Cheradenine Zakalwe is plucked from a more "primitive" civilisation to do The Culture's dirty work. Bank's usual mixture of dark humour, and violence as the half forgotten past catches up with the present and The Culture fails to realise the true nature of what and who it is dealing with. A book with a stunning, shocking finale.
