{"product_id":"2940154454251","title":"Xylanthia","description":"\u003cp\u003eXylanthia is the first book of a new (2017) science fiction trilogy by Thomas C. Stone. The trilogy is referred to as The Xylanthian Chronicles and it's a long read, but the story moves and Stone makes it entertaining enough with his usual unforgiving prose and a vignette-style flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXylanthia concerns the adventures of a scientific exploratory team and how they came to be on a moon orbiting a gas giant around Sirius A. A gateway in time is discovered. Additionally, an enterprising lab technician derives a recreational drug from an alien substance and suddenly, we're off to the races. That's even before the transdimensional beings show up. Yep, that's what I said. Transdimensional beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXylanthia is presented through two main characters, Mackenzie Maguire and Chef. Chef is a cook and Mac is a rookie scientist. Both are just trying to survive. Intrigue and survival? In abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of Thomas C. Stone will appreciate action galore in all three of the books that make up The Xylanthian Chronicles. Xylanthia is intended to be read by a general audience; PG-13 for drug use, mild sexual references, and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cooper's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074781528304,"sku":"2940154454251","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154454251_p0.jpg?v=1764072417","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154454251","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
