{"product_id":"2940151410823","title":"No Traveler Returns","description":"Wilkinson is a professor of mathematics who feels that the abstract beauty of science must be founded on objective truth. In fact, he could imagine no ecstasy so exalted as the contemplation of a perfect balance only to be achieved after presiding inscrutably over a multitude of numbers and making lofty calculations. A dry old stick, to be sure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, when  Professor Wilkinson is flummoxed by the results of a perfect experiment, he decides to test his theory himself and, quivering with esthetic rapture (his discovery after all might be the salvation of a race), leaves hypothesizing behind to become a participant. His plans go awry, however, when he slips on a mathematical banana skin and is never seen again ? not in his world anyway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe planet on which he finds himself is in a parallel dimension ruled by a group of scientists who have eliminated culture and destroyed all animals. The population lives on synthetic food which is supplemented by a little fresh butcher's meat trapped from other dimensions. In fact, immediately after his arrival the professor is placed in a moss-lined pen to be fatten up. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fantasy seasoned with a strong element of science fiction, No Traveller Returns, is a grand and bone-chilling example of Collier's inimitable wit, irony, and imagination.","brand":"eNet Press Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156304412912,"sku":"2940151410823","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151410823_p0.jpg?v=1764010018","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151410823","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
