While walking in the Swiss Alps, two English travellers fall into a space-warp,
and suddenly find themselves in another world. In many ways the same as our own
- even down to the characters that inhabit it - this new planet is still somehow
radically different, for the two walkers are now upon a Utopian Earth controlle
d by a single World Government. Here, as they soon learn, all share a common lan
guage, there is sexual, economic and racial equality, and society is ruled by so
cialist ideals enforced by an austere, voluntary elite: the Samurai'.
