In the early moments of the war, a space capsule is sabotaged during its return from the Moon, resulting in one person dead and three adrift on a raft in the Pacific. The sole survivor discovers an island with a prominent 'M', inhabited by humanoid beings with animalistic features. The person responsible for these hybrids is Mortimer Dart, a victim of thalidomide and fascinated by deformities, who replicates the experiments of H.G. Wells' Dr. Moreau. Brian Aldiss pays homage to Wells in this science fiction work, exploring themes of genetic manipulation and the nature of humanity.
Brian Wilson Aldiss was an English writer, artist and anthology editor, best known for science-fiction novels and short stories. His byline reads either Brian W. Aldiss or simply Brian Aldiss, except for occasional pseudonyms during the mid-1960s.
