{"product_id":"9781462808991","title":"Alien Syndrome","description":"Bizarre events disturb the quietude of Gatestown; in fact, something extraordinary is happening to the entire world.  There are widespread computer problems; ‘poltergeist’ phenomena; strange deaths; hyperspace effects; sudden floods; suspected alien invasion; and, in particular, NASA’s computers have frozen with hieroglyphics on the screens, incomprehensible to the experts.  The puzzle slowly unfolds throughout the story and is essentially solved by a teenage computer wizard named Alvin. Is this an alien invasion or is it a gigantic error by an extraterrestrial civilisation and Earth has haplessly become a victim? The story is based on mainly valid science but is not too technical for the layman.  In fact, the Intergalactic Travel Project that is revealed could be achieved practically.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155557794032,"sku":"9781462808991","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462808991_p0.jpg?v=1763677918","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462808991","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
