Planet Of The Blind
By Laurence James
Published by Pinnacle Books: New York City 1975 1st Edition
"Planet of the Blind, by Laurence James (Pinnacle Books, 1975), is a fast-paced pulp science fiction adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world where civilization has been shattered and survival depends on cunning, violence, and alliances. The story follows the mercenary hero Blade, a battle-hardened fighter who is sent through the Dimension X project into a strange new world where blindness is the norm and sight is seen as a curse. Navigating this hostile society, Blade must use his wits and physical prowess to stay alive, unravel the planet's secrets, and adapt to a culture that regards his abilities as dangerous and unnatural.
James combines gritty action, political intrigue, and dystopian tension to create a brutal, atmospheric narrative typical of 1970s men's adventure fiction. The novel explores themes of power, control, and the clash between technology and primitivism, while keeping the plot lean and action-driven. Planet of the Blind is both a survival story and a dark exploration of human fear and prejudice, offering readers a blend of violent confrontations, exotic worldbuilding, and tense moral dilemmas — all hallmarks of Laurence James' work."
