Canal Dreams

Iain Banks's classic novel, reissued with a striking new cover

''Banks once again demonstrates his extraordinary dark powers of imagination'' Sunday Times

Hisako Onada, world-famous cellist, refuses to fly. And so she travels to Europe as a passenger on a tanker bound through the Panama Canal. But Panama is a country whose politics are as volatile as the local freedom fighters. When Hisako''s ship is captured, it is not long before the atmosphere is as flammable as an oxy-acetylene torch, and the tension as sharp as the spike on the cello...
