What happens when two U.S. Naval Astronauts land on the planet Harlech, where there is no government, no law – indeed, no concept of sin! Public nudity is a way of life and the paternalism of children is of little interest to their mothers. This wry, amusing, and suspenseful satire is truly John Boyd at his best. <P> Praise for John Boyd's The Last Starship from Earth <P> "This is the best anti-Utopia, the strongest satire on trends in our present culture, I have seen since '1984' appeared. I enjoyed its humor, its half-buried allusions. The puns, the almost-not-quite-quotations, the thinly-veiled references to our 'real' world—all of these delighted me. It belongs up at the top, along with 'Brave New World' and '1984'." –Robert A. Heinlein <P> "A fascinating novel that kept me amused and interested to the end. The future society it describes is one of the most convincing I've ever encountered.” – Arthur C. Clarke <P> "In the tradition of Huxley, Orwell, and Bradbury… A work of extraordinary impact." – The Los Angeles Times
