by Andre Norton (Author)
Andre Norton's The People of the Crater blends adventure, fantasy, and lost-world imagination in a tale of survival and discovery in an unknown land.
When young scientist David Thane travels to the remote islands of the Pacific, he expects a routine research expedition. Instead, a violent storm sweeps his ship into uncharted waters and strands him in a mysterious volcanic crater isolated from the outside world. Within this hidden valley he encounters a strange civilization with its own customs, conflicts, and ancient traditions.
As Thane struggles to understand the society of the crater and its rival factions, he becomes involved in the struggles of its people and the dangers that threaten their fragile world. To survive-and perhaps help determine the future of this hidden land-he must adapt quickly to the unfamiliar rules governing life within the crater.
First published in the mid-twentieth century, The People of the Crater is an early novel by Andre Norton, later renowned for her influential works of science fiction and fantasy. The book remains a lively example of classic lost-world adventure fiction.
