Description

Hisako Onoda, a world-renowned cellist, has a peculiar aversion to flying. Instead, she travels by sea, embarking on a journey as a passenger on a tanker bound through the Panama Canal.

However, her voyage takes an unexpected turn when the ship is captured, and the atmosphere becomes increasingly volatile. As tensions rise, Hisako must navigate a complex web of global politics and psychological insights, all set against the backdrop of a rapidly unfolding crisis.

This gripping novel showcases Iain M. Banks' unique ability to craft compelling stories that explore the darker aspects of human nature. With its stark realism and original power, Canal Dreams is a thought-provoking read that will leave you pondering the complexities of global realpolitik.
