Against a Dark Background
Against a Dark Background is a science fiction novel by Iain M. Banks.
Unlike most of his science fiction, it does not deal with the Culture; and in contrast to the galaxy-spanning Culture novels, it is contained within a single solar system, which is cut off from the rest of the universe by an enshrouding nebula that hides it from other solar systems and vice versa (one meaning of the book's title).
The plot revolves around Lady Sharrow, an exiled aristocrat and retired spy, who becomes the target of a sinister conspiracy.
