Every book I read by the Strugatskys makes me love them more. Far Rainbow tells about the last day on a colony planet where scientists research instantaneous transportation -- and accidentally trigger a global death-wave. It's paired with "The Second Invasion from Mars," the story of a Martian invasion through the eyes of a rural pensioner whose sources are richer in rumor than in fact. It's a funny and still-timely satire of communication.
rretzler I have a couple of their books on my TBR. Need to get to them soon. 5y
swynn @rretzler Hope you like them! I read my first Strugatsky book just last year, and became an instant fan. 5y

The Dead Mountaineer's Inn: One More Last Rite for the Detective Genre
swynn @rretzler I don't know that one, and mystery novels don't seem to be their usual thing. I'm intrigued. 5y
