Noon, 22nd Century

Despite some minor flaws such as once-established character names changing possibly due to fautly editing and printing, this is in my opinion a great book for several reasons I can't really get into right now other than the giant Dragonflys of the Planet Pandora is such a cool and crazy aspect of the book and the story of the mystery of the hind leg is completely wild and that the Strugatsky's are funny as hell. However,I will say that Noon 22nd Century has many compelling characters. And these charaters drift in and out of this long dizzy story of what the future will be like in the 22nd Century while changing in spirit, age, and mindset. In conclusion, If you like your science fiction deep, funny and scary at the same time while being horizonal, moody, inventive, and original, then you'll have to settle for something eles because this book is out of print and I just spilt coffee and squoze the guts of a tuna fish sandwich all over mine. Sorry.
