{"product_id":"2940148563792","title":"When the World Shook","description":"Set at the turn of the twentieth century -- a day and age when a cruise around the world was a ticket for adventure, not a recipe for relaxation -- Haggard's When the World Shook is a bit of science fiction made before the form had a name. Humphrey Arbuthnot, Basil Bastin, and a physician, Bickley, are off on just such an adventure -- and where it leads them is a SF-style land of the weird. Somewhere in the south Pacific they take refuge in a cave on a forbidden island, and there they find skeletal ruins of machines -- flying machines. In the ruins they find two tombs with crystal lids: One contains the body of an elderly man -- and holds a beautiful young woman. Naturally enough, our heroes open the coffins, resurrect the entombed . . . and begin a great and remarkable adventure. Haggard was a heck of a writer, and the book tells a whopper of a tale: When the World Shook is not a thing to miss.","brand":"Tri-Fold Media Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084233031920,"sku":"2940148563792","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148563792_p0.jpg?v=1763704495","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148563792","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
