{"product_id":"9780956909862","title":"Military Roads","description":"The latest tour de force in speculative fiction from John Fraser. The 'Military Roads' of this book, which consists of three tales running consecutively, are, first, the adventures of a narrator following the fortunes of a leader of a revolution in a distant country: second, a journey starting in the 'military road' which in Soviet times and before, ran from Moscow to the Caucasus: and finally, a mission undertaken from Italy, through North Africa, with the aim of recruiting a private army of bodyguards for a global tycoon.\u003cbr\u003e The narrator's amorous adventures, and his struggles to survive these radical shifts of place, commitment and perspective, conclude with a sweet-and-sour relationship with his boss's partner, and a precarious acceptance of traditional religious practices. The military roads, it is supposed, will continue to be travelled, with results which never achieve a lasting resolution, but provide temporary satisfaction for some, at least, of the protagonists.","brand":"Aesop Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028895318256,"sku":"9780956909862","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780956909862_p0.jpg?v=1763872999","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780956909862","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
