{"product_id":"2940012538598","title":"The Colors of Space","description":"The Lhari spaceport didn't belong on Earth.\u003cbr\u003eBart Steele had thought that, a long time ago, when he first saw it. He had been just a kid then; twelve years old, and all excited about seeing Earth for the first time--Earth, the legendary home of mankind before the Age of Space, the planet of Bart's far-back ancestors. And the first thing he'd seen on Earth, when he got off the starship, was the Lhari spaceport.\u003cbr\u003eAnd he'd thought, right then, It doesn't belong on Earth.\u003cbr\u003eHe'd said so to his father, and his father's face had gone strange, bitter and remote.\u003cbr\u003e\"A lot of people would agree with you, Son,\" Captain Rupert Steele had said softly. \"The trouble is, if the Lhari spaceport wasn't on Earth, we wouldn't be on Earth either. Remember that.\"\u003cbr\u003eBart remembered it, five years later, as he got off the strip of moving sidewalk. He turned to wait for Tommy Kendron, who was getting his baggage off the center strip of the moving roadway. Bart Steele and Tommy Kendron had graduated together, the day before, from the Space Academy of Earth. Now Tommy, who had been born on the ninth planet of the star Capella, was taking the Lhari starship to his faraway home, and Bart's father was coming back to Earth, on the same starship, to meet his son.","brand":"New Century Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081512370416,"sku":"2940012538598","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012538598_p0.jpg?v=1763570192","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012538598","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
