Can you help me id this book?
Guy gets fed up with society, goes to some island to live a life in peace with the natives. Sometime later he discovers a troop of young athletes have landed to play olympic-like games, but all are voluntary amputees, now with attached super-power prosthetics.
The guy decides the world needs him more than he needs the tranquility, and he goes back to society to try and fix things if he can.
I read it lots of years ago so these details are probably not quite accurate. Hope someone will recognize it, or at least tell me where to go to match the story with a name.
I keep thinking R.A.H since he wrote lots surrounding political thesis, but who knows?
thanks!
