tpbury Posted 9 June, 2013 Share Posted 9 June, 2013 Announced he had terminal cancer a couple of months ago and is now dead. I always sought out his new books and would have liked to have met him because his writing made him seem such an insightful and humane bloke.

Ken Tone Posted 10 June, 2013 Share Posted 10 June, 2013 An excellent author -- unusual in working in 2 genres under almost the same name, one as Iain Banks and one as Iain M. Banks. I recommend his books to everyone. His death at only 59 has robbed us of many more that he would have written. I read 'Surface Detail' only a few weeks ago -- what an extraordinary imagination!
