Dead Air

by Iain Banks

4.0 · 1 review

Critics' consensus

"Dead Air is considered an entertaining but uneven novel, showcasing Banks's sharp wit and political energy while suffering from an underdeveloped plot and a protagonist whose provocateur charm gradually wears thin."

Not Banks' best but worthy if you're a fan.
