When CIA agent Chuck Rittersdorf and his psychiatrist wife, Mary, file for divorce, they have no idea that in a few weeks they’ll be shooting it out on Alpha III M2, the distant moon ruled by various psychotics liberated from a mental ward. Nor do they suspect that Chuck’s new employer, the famous TV comedian Bunny Hentman, will also be there aiming his own laser gun. How things came to such a darkly hilarious pass is the subject of Clans of the Alphane Moon, an astutely shrewd and acerbic tale that blurs all conventional distinctions between sanity and madness.

    I've read this book years ago in Italian, and I didn't remember anything particular about it. Reading it again in English makes me say that the book is enjoyable and, for a change, almost happy ending, which is surely a rare thing for PKD.
    It's probably not a masterpiece and it doesn't contain many of PKD's usual theme (reality, perception, human/non-human), but I recommend it anyway. I think it also include a rare example of friendship (between Chuck and Lord Running Clam) that is so unusual..
