USE OF WEAPONS
Book ID/图书代码： 12844010B41827
English Summary/英文概要： The man known as Cheradenine Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances’ foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks and military action.
The woman known as Diziet Sma had plucked him from obscurity and pushed him towards his present eminence, but despite all their dealings she did not know him as well as she thought.
The drone known as Skaffen-Amtiskaw knew both of these people. It had once saved the woman’s life by massacring her attackers in a particularly bloody manner. It believed the man to be a lost cause. But not even its machine could see the horrors in his past.
Ferociously intelligent, both witty and horrific, USE OF WEAPONS is a masterpiece of science fiction.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个叫作Cheradenine Zakalwe男人是最重要的代理商之一，他改变行星的命运，通过阴谋、肮脏的诡计和军事行动以适应文化。 一个叫作Diziet Sma的女人把他从一个无名小卒提拔到他现今的瞩目地位。尽管如此，除了他们之间的交易外，这个女人对这个男人一无所知。
一家被世人熟知的Skaffen- Amtiskaw无人驾驶飞机知道这两个人。它曾经一极其血腥的方式屠杀攻击者从而救过这个女人的性命。它认为这个男人是一个失败。但纵使机器也不能看到他过去的恐怖。
极具智慧，诙谐而惊悚，《使用武器》是科幻小说的杰作。(兼职翻译-JDM)
