Alex sez, “In a first for Orbit, we’re serializing the abridged audio edition of Transition by Iain M. Banks as a podcast., starting today. For free. New chapters launched Tuesday and Friday. This is the abridged edition — the full book is available in hardcover, audio, and ebook editions today. The Independent says: ‘TRANSITION is a book that makes you think, one that makes you look at the world around you in a different light, and it’s also a properly thrilling read. If only more contemporary fiction was like it.'”
I’m a huge fan of Banks’s thrillers; I like them even better than his science fiction.
