{"product_id":"9780803298972","title":"The Breaking of Northwall: The Pelbar Cycle, Book One","description":"One thousand years after a devastating and chaotic series of nuclear exchanges, all that is left of the United States of America are scattered, warring tribes and small city-states. One of the latter is Pelbar—proud, civilized, and intolerant of change and new ideas. Rebels and troublemakers are sentenced to a year of exile at the massive midwestern fortress of Northwall, defending Pelbar against the fierce Shumai and Sentani tribes. Restless and brilliant Jestak is a visionary who has seen and learned too much in his distant travels to be content with life in Pelbarigan. During his exile at Northwall, he makes contact with Pelbar’s age-old enemies and risks all to rescue his beloved Tia from nomads armed with long-lost weapons from before the atomic holocaust. Jestak’s daring quest for love brings profound changes to his world. \u003ci\u003eThe Breaking of Northwall\u003c\/i\u003e is the first in a series of seven classic postapocalyptic novels about the Pelbar people. Williams’s fascinating and uniquely optimistic vision of an America long after a nuclear war has enthralled readers for decades.","brand":"UNP - Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078798852336,"sku":"9780803298972","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803298972_p0.jpg?v=1763728586","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803298972","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
