The Wopuld family built their fortune on a board game called Empire, now a wildly successful computer game. So successful, in fact, that the American Spraint Corp wants to buy the Wopulds out. Alban, who has been evading the family tentacles for the last few years, thinks Spraint should be treated with suspicion, but he also has other things on his mind. What drove his mother to take her own life? And is he yet over Sophie, his teenage love, who'll be present at the forthcoming family gathering - part birthday party, part Extraordinary General Meeting - in their highland castle?©2007 Iain Banks; (P)2007 Hachette Audio Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Game

I loved this book. Iain Banks writes so beautifully. I thought Peter Kenny read it so well. There were several sections I listened to multiple times because they were such a joy!
