Eight Keys to Eden
Mark Clifton
Book Overview:
When Earth loses contact with the colony planet Eden, an expedition is sent to find out why. Even though the planet has been determined to have no hostile properties, the second expedition is astonished to find no evidence of the colony. The colonists are spread out, naked, wandering dazed among the bushes, with no sign of any of the technology they brought from Earth.

"Or a freak one did occur and they weren't prepared because it wasn't supposed to happen," Cal said.
Wong and McGinnis exchanged a quick glance, and Cal knew Wong had laid a little trap to see how easily he might be lulled into a premature conclusion.
The gravity was slightly less, the geophysicist was saying, but only to the extent that man, newly arrived from Earth, walked with a springier step, didn't tire as quickly. Not enough to cause nausea, even to the inexperienced. The oxygen content of the air, in fact the whole make-up of the air, was so close to Earth quality there were no breathing adaptations necessary.

I enjoy stories that are about questions. In this story, there is enough action to read on the level of an adventure but the story framework is about questioning assumptions. I also thought it was a timely piece of fiction, as relevant in social commentary today, as in the era it was written.
Oh joyful wonder!
In high school I stumbled across this little book. It maybe small but the ideas can change your life.
I hope it opens you up to the possibilities that your mind may be able to expand and extend to the ends of the universe. Have found.

I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. It is a novel of ideas which was packed into what at first seemed to be a sitcom. There were many comedic approaches and situations, but when it came time for the denouement the ideas took over and I, for one, love SF ideas. This one even brought up my pet t
If you like pulpy golden age sci-fi writing, with a bit of acerbic political commentary and a dash of adolescent humor that is capped off with a whole lot of pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo then this is the book for you. My inner 13 year old loved this book, while the rest of me thought it was all p
