Walking on Glass

'Her eyes were black, wide as though with some sustained surprise, the skin from their outer corners to her small ears taut. Her lips were pale, and nearly too full for her small mouth, like something bled but bruised. He had never seen anyone or anything quite so beautiful in his life.' Graham Park is in love. But Sara Fitch is an enigma to him, a creature of almost perverse mystery. Steven Grout is paranoid - and with justice. He knows that They are out to get him. They are. Quiss, insecure in his fabulous if ramshackle castle, is forced to play interminable impossible games. The solution to the oldest of all paradoxical riddles will release him. But he must find an answer before he knows the question. Park, Grout, Quiss - no trio could be further apart. But their separate courses are set for collision.

    This is Banks at the threshold of his sci-fi alter-ego. Walking on Glass is the story of three very different people, a warrior imprisoned in a castle, who is forced to play impossible games;a young man in love; and a paranoid obsessive compulsive, whose enemies really are out to get him.

    They aren't an attractive bunch of people, it must be said, but Banks doesn't write pleasant characters.
