Product Description
Book Description
The man known as Cheradenine Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances’ foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks or military action.

The woman known as Diziet Sma had plucked him from obscurity and pushed him towards his present eminence, but despite all their dealings she did not know him as well as she thought.

The drone known as Skaffen-Amtiskaw knew both of these people. It had once saved the woman’s life by massacring her attackers in a particularly bloody manner. It believed the man to be a burnt-out case. But not even its machine could see the horrors in his past.

Ferociously intelligent, both witty and horrific, Use of Weapons is a masterpiece of science fiction. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Zakalwe does the Culture's dirty work, changing the destiny of planets through intrigue or military action. Diziet Sma enrolled him into the Culture's service, but does not know about his past. Written by the author of "Consider Phlebas" and "The Player of Games".
