| Summary | "Underground Movement" by Allen K. Lang is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. Set against a backdrop of societal turmoil, it explores themes of freedom, oppression, and the impact of state control on individual lives. The story takes place largely in an underground transportation system known as "the Tube," where passengers confront an unexpected crisis. The plot revolves around a group of passengers traveling in the Tube, who suddenly find themselves halted due to an incident involving a State Secret Police officer. Tension escalates as they grapple with the mystery of a mangled corpse discovered in the Tube, revealing the dark undercurrents of government oppression. Among the passengers are Dr. Raimazan, whose son was a victim of state violence, and the captivating Anna, who draws the attention of those around her. As panic sets in about their stalled journey, the characters reveal their true intentions and beliefs regarding power, freedom, and loyalty. The narrative culminates in a tense situation that reflects the grim realities of life under a totalitarian regime, leading to shocking revelations about sacrifice and betrayal.
