Some twenty years ago I read a SF book about 4 people (2 men, 2 women) who were abducted and dropped on another planet. After several adventures they discover that their kidnappers (hermafrodites, with faces that look like the Sphinx) again offer them a new garden of eden. The book made quite an impression on me and I would like to read it again, however I lost the book and also cannot remember the title. The dutch title was (translated in english) Cosmic Experiment .
At the time, I set it down to some idiosyncratic, personal distaste . . . but I have since had reason to believe the cause to lie much deeper in the nature of man.
The lunar month in question would have started on II Akhet 17.
“Is there danger for those who go down?” she asked. ¶ “Danger! ’Tis the dangerest task as they can set themselves to.”
