Inversions
By Iain Banks
Categories: Science Fiction & Fantasy
On a world at roughly a medieval stage of development, two stories run side by side. In one, a woman known as Doctor Vosill serves as personal physician to King Quience, watched with suspicion by his court. In the other, a bodyguard called DeWar protects UrLeyn, the Protector who has taken power in a neighboring land. The Culture is never named, but readers of Banks's science fiction will notice its quiet presence behind both outsiders.
