Prisoners of Power (Best Soviet SF Series)
by Boris Strugatsky Arkady Strugatsky Helen Saltz JacobsonSomeday, far in the future of our planet, "if you are twenty years old, can't do anything well, haven't the vaguest notion of what you want to do ... and are still naive enough to imagine yourself making fabulous discoveries in unexplored space ..." then the IRU--Independent Reconnaissance Unit--will provide you with an alien world for exploration. Just pick up the catalog, open it at random, stab blindly, and set off into the wild blue yonder. If you are lucky circumstances will not leave you stranded. Set on one of these alien worlds, Prisoners of Power paints the grim picture of a civilization that has survived a nuclear holocaust. Everything is dusty, flat, and gray, and the rivers run with radioactivity. Into this bleak, depressing world comes young Maxim, an earthling who--by our standards--possesses highly developed physical, intellectual, emotional, and moral qualities. Stranded, but resourceful, and able to withstand the conditions and treatment that the inhabitants of this randomly chosen island cannot, he gradually learns that this strange world--more like ours than his--needs to be changed. But to change it he must become involved. He must discover the meaning of hatred, ignorance, and cruelty. He must understand the drive for power in both himself and others, and form new bonds of friendship, loyalty, love. Slowly, first as a Robinson Crusoe, then as Legionnaire, Terrorist, Prisoner and finally Earthling, he comes to know the workings of the island, its puppets and its people: the mutants who inhabit the outlying regions, the evil Strannik, his friends Guy, Rada, Zef, Ordi--and eventually even the mystery of the All-Powerful Creators.
