{"product_id":"the-waves-extinguish-the-wind-rediscovered-classics","title":"The Waves Extinguish the Wind (Rediscovered Classics)","description":"Today, Russian authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are counted among the best science fiction writers of the twentieth century.\nIn their Noon Universe novels, they imagined twenty-second-century Earth as a space-faring communist utopia, devoted to guiding the progress of civilization on alien worlds. But as the authors became increasingly disillusioned with life in the Soviet Union, their Noon Universe stories grew darker and more complex as well.\nThe Waves Extinguish the Wind provides the epic conclusion to the Noon Universe saga, as eighty-nine-year-old Maxim Kammerer looks back at his most earth-shattering investigation, which brought an entire era of human civilization to an end. Searching for evidence that the mysterious alien Wanderers were interfering in Earth’s development, Kammerer and his young trainee Toivo Glumov discovered a deeper and more disturbing secret within humanity itself.\nThis new translation by Daniels Umanovskis joins updated editions of Hard to Be a God, The Inhabited Island, and The Beetle in the Anthill to bring the saga of the Noon Universe to its fitting end: a search for truth and answers in a universe that provides only questions.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1641606266\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1641606266.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Strugatsky, Boris|Strugatsky, Arkady|Umanovskis, Daniels\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
