I've read and enjoyed Gary Fry before and this was a well written novella, but something was missing here. Daryl, a professor returning home from a conference, decides to take a short cut and stumbles upon a village of sorts. This village is somehow cut off from the rest of society and it's inhabitants have adopted a "disciplined" lifestyle where any semblance of unconformity is viewed as "undisciplined" and must be dealt with. And Daryl is a very orderly and disciplined person himself. But even he sees how creepy this setup is and he just wants some help in getting home.There's some nice areas and ideas to investigate in this book, but it just seemed a bit rushed.
