Book still in good condition - First Edition - No wrapper. >>> To catalogue the compelling qualities of this astonishing novel is a challenge of no small proportions. It is a novel of pursuit and adventure, as thrilling as any that has come down the pike in many a year, comparable, we think, to the best of Graham Greene and Eric Ambler. >>> The story tells of the pursuit by a political police officer of a youth under sentence who escapes and tries to fight his way to freedom. Circumstance leads pursuer and pursued to an island where dwell simple folk whose way of life is governed by primitive laws adequate to a society untouched by the mainland's chaos and revolution. The crisis provoked by the intrusion of the strangers makes one of the most intriguing situations in a book that abounds in constant surprise. And the bizarre nature of the pursuit provides countless moments of excitement, underscored by a love affair of mingled ecstasy and terror. * futuristic ? *
