4.0 out of 5 stars
escape Attempt Review,
By "ukrainik" (MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Escape Attempt (Macmillan's Best of Soviet Science Fiction) (Hardcover)
Summary: Two young guys (linguist and pilot) are planning to go for a hunt to an Exotic Planet until a stranger in whit pants and cap shows up and asks them for a favor: Fly him to an uninhibited planet anywhere in the Universe. That sounds like a swell plan to spend a vocation until the arrive to the planet and find it in the middle of Dark Age. They fill an obligation to interfere...but should they?Personal Thoughts: the story is intriguing, the characters ar well developed and as always in Strugatskys' books there is a certain philosophical twist with some thoughts about social structure and marality of the individual. However the ending confused me quite a bit. i just finished the book and didn't have time to think about it but it does leave you a little bit puzzled. Over all an excellent read.
