{"product_id":"9781483563428","title":"The Language Program and other stories","description":"This collection of short stories is primarily science fiction. They range from an alien being in a lake ('It') to an unseen killer (The Peripheral Man), to the horror awaiting a novice thief (Johnson), and then the secret Language Program designed by NASA. Two action-adventure stories involve a quest for riches by post WWI soldiers (Elation) and an elite assassin facing his greatest adversary (I Work Alone). The author also shares a painful adolescent crush (Tina Will Be There), and takes a stab at humor (The Next Super-Hero).","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125973205232,"sku":"9781483563428","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483563428_p0.jpg?v=1763630414","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483563428","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
