When Maxim Kammerer, a young space explorer from
twenty-second-century Earth, crash-lands on an uncharted world, he
thinks of himself as a latter-day Robinson Crusoe. Eager to
establish first contact with the planet's humanlike inhabitants, he
finds himself increasingly entangled in their primitive way of
life. After his experiences in their nightmarish military, criminal
justice, and mental health systems, Maxim begins to realize that
his sojourn on this radioactive and war-scarred world will not be a
walk in the park. The Inhabited Island is one of the Strugatsky
brothers' most popular and acclaimed novels, yet the only previous
English-language edition (Prisoners of Power) was based on a
version heavily censored by Soviet authorities. Now, in a sparkling
new edition by award-winning translator Andrew Bromfield, this
landmark novel can be newly appreciated by both longtime Strugatsky
fans and new explorers of the Russian science fiction masters'
astonishingly rich body of work.
