{"product_id":"2940158965647","title":"Deathworld","description":"Deathworld is the name of a series of science fiction novels by Harry Harrison including the books Deathworld (first published 1960, serialized in Astounding Science Fiction), Deathworld 2 (1964, initially titled The Ethical Engineer and serialized in Analog) and Deathworld 3 (1968, serialized in Analog as The Horse Barbarians), plus the short story \"The Mothballed Spaceship\" (1973, written as part of a tribute to John W. Campbell). The central hero is a gambler who becomes involved with colonists of an extremely hostile planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are several hints that the novels take place in the same universe as Harrison's The Stainless Steel Rat series; however, other hints suggest a similar universe but not exactly the same one. For example, at several points in the Deathworld series, the novels mention the Special Corps with Inskipp as its leader; however, the story \"The Mothballed Spaceship\" mentions an armada about to attack Earth--a planet that is long destroyed in the time of The Stainless Steel Rat universe.","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104207552752,"sku":"2940158965647","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158965647_p0.jpg?v=1764123828","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158965647","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
