FOR UNTOLD CENTURIES HUMANITY DREAMED 0F REALITIES LIKE THESE... —an ideal agrarian community, run by women and ruled by love and harmony, —a city-state that mirrored history’s most famous utopian vision, —a society aglow with the wit and style that only Regency England had briefly achieved. All were real. All were flourishing. All were waiting to astound and entrap four space voyagers from Earth who had violated all odds by landing on this unknown planet, and who now broke all its laws to learn the terrifying secret of the FORBIDDEN WORLD

Classic space opera with four astronauts discovering multiple utopian societies on an unknown planet. Contains mild peril and mystery elements as they uncover a 'terrifying secret,' but is likely adventure-focused without graphic content given the 1970s publication date.
