Escape Attempt (Russian: "Попытка к бегству") is the second novel by the Strugatsky Brothers to be set in the Noon Universe.Two friends, Anton and Vadim, are preparing for their holiday hunting trip when they are joined by a strange-looking man, Saul, who persuades them to fly to an arbitrary uninhabited and unexplored planet with a thinly-veiled wish to stay there. Incidentally, the first planet they land on (which they name Saula in honor of their passenger) bears a primitive civilization of Human Aliens. Having found several bodies of frozen-to-death adolescents, the Earthlings, believing that there has been a catastrophic event recently, decide to ignore their Alien Non-Interference Clause and move in to help the survivors. However, they discover that there was no catastrophe, it's actually much much worse.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This novel is notable to be the first one to deal with the topic ever-recurring in the Noon Universe: Should Earthlings intervene when they see violence and injustice happening elsewhere? Will it change anything or make the things worse? The protagonists have very contrasting opinions on this: While Vadim is brightly optimistic and eager to take part in such an endeavor, Saul's grim stance eventually pushes him beyond his Despair Event Horizon. | |

Banned in China: Defied. Word of God states that, originally, Saul was to escape from the Gulag. This would have been too much even for the Khrushchev's Thaw, so they made him escape from a Nazi camp. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Escape Attempt / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Rather subtle and sociological. It is no coincidence that totalitarian regimes first emerged as late as in the XX century, since they have certain technical (such as mass media) and social prerequisites. In the novel, however, the local civilization is depicted as totalitarian, although technologically it is located somewhere in the Dung Ages. | |
