description: Orbit, 1988. Trade paperback. This is the sixth "Culture" novel. The story takes place on a fictional planet resembling late-Middle Ages Europe. A large empire broke up in the decade or so preceding the action, apparently from meteor or asteroid strikes that severely affected farming across much of the globe.
