{"product_id":"9781504009409","title":"We Install: And Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom Harry Turtledove, bestselling author of the Worldwar series and \u003ci\u003eThe Guns of the South\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of nine stories and three essays that illuminate his broad storytelling range\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Harry Turtledove earned the title “master of alternate history” from \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e for his thought-provoking novels that turn historical facts into gripping tales of possibility. But his writing talent goes much further. \u003ci\u003eWe Install \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a showcase of styles, from humor—in “Father of the Groom,” a scientist with a penchant for wild experimentation helps his love-struck son by synthesizing a wedding ring out of two carrots—to classic science fiction, as in the Hugo Award–winning “Down in the Bottomlands” and “Hoxbomb,” in which a regular guy just trying to make a living selling scooters has to deal with some very odd competition. The alternate history tale “Drang von Osten” begins on a bloody battlefield in World War II and ends somewhere quite different. In the brand-new “Logan’s Law,” a man discovers that sometimes, second chances really do work out. The book’s three essays tackle the diverse subjects of how to write alternate history, Tolkien’s \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, and the history of Chanukah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe Install\u003c\/i\u003e will delight longtime Turtledove fans and new readers alike with its rich offerings from one of the finest craftsmen writing today.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108277666032,"sku":"9781504009409","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504009409_p0.jpg?v=1769896973","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504009409","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
