| | | Download sample file | Inhabited Island (a.k.a Prisoner of Power in British translations) is a science fiction novel written by Russian science fiction authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Originally it was published in 1971, after modifications by Soviet censors to remove possible allusions to the Soviet Union. In 1992 the book was published again in the original uncensored version although many original character names were lost.
The hero is a young activist of Freelance Search Group Maxim Kammerer, crashed in the industrial Land of Fathers on planet Saraksh.
The story evolves around the adventures of Maxim Kammerer. He is then a young man who, failing achieving an interesting career on Earth, gets an unprestigious job in space exploration. He finds an uncharted planet (Saraksh) inhabited by a humanoid species similar to humanity of the mid 20th century, living with the dire consequences of a recent nuclear war. His ship shot down by the abandoned, yet functional, air defense system, he settles in the society of the Land of the Fathers nation (becoming a "robinson" of an "inhabited island"; hence the title).
The society of the Land of the Fathers is controlled by a totalitarian, militaristic, avowedly fascist, regime headed by the Fathers, an oligarchy of high officials and business leaders. The nation is in the state of constant war against the rival Island Empire, whose incessant seaborne attacks seek to pave way for conquest and wholesale extermination of the people of the continent. Somewhat less justifiably, the propaganda regularly portrays the states to the north, in truth divided and weak, as constituting a military threat.
