In a world renowned even within a galaxy full of wonders, a crime within
a war. For one brother it means a desperate flight, and a search for the
one - maybe two - people who could clear his name. For his brother it means
a life lived under constant threat of treachery and murder. And for their
sister, even without knowing the full truth, it means returning to a place
she'd thought abandoned forever.

Only the sister is not what she once was; Djan Seriy Anaplian has changed
almost beyond recognition to become an agent of the Culture's Special
Circumstances section, charged with high-level interference in civilisations
throughout the greater galaxy.

Concealing her new identity - and her particular set of abilities - might
be a dangerous strategy, however. In the world to which Anaplian returns,
nothing is quite as it seems; and determining the appropriate level of
interference in someone else's war is never a simple matter.

MATTER is a novel of dazzling wit and serious purpose. An extraordinary
feat of storytelling and breathtaking invention on a grand scale, it is
a tour de force from a writer who has turned science fiction on its head.
