Overview
Reviews
"With its harsh portrayals of nuclear devastation and demented autocracy, this book is bound to spark curiosity about the political purposes of Soviet science fiction. . . . The narrative proceeds with a clarity and firmness not quite like anything in even the finest American science fiction. . . . A work of unmistakable stature." —Kirkus Reviews on Prisoners of Power, the previous English translation of The Inhabited IslandAuthor Biography
