{"product_id":"9781910779309","title":"Of Wood, Metal and Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong after the mighty dogs of war had barked their last three primitive settlements struggle to survive, distant but connected by a fragile wooden trackway. Brent sails the trackways between the settlements, ferrying materials and goods from his forest edge settlement and the metalworkers and outwards to the glass workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe desert wastelands between the three settlements are being consumed by an unknown force, gigantic funnels into which the parched sands are being slowly sucked. But there is something more, a malevolent cloud-like presence haunts the desert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrent is uncommonly inquisitive and against the decree of the elders stumbles upon a hitherto undiscovered treasure house - an entire department store, buried and overgrown by the forest over the countless years. And so change comes to the three settlements, but not in the way that they had expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"With a wry nod to other books in his 'Sapient Continuum' series, D. B. Reynolds-Moreton shows us life after the last great war. The inhabitants of this land react to the strange remains of an earlier civilisation in a totally believable fashion. This is good solid, intelligent sci-fi.\" - SFC Editor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford eBooks Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043934093552,"sku":"9781910779309","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781910779309_p0.jpg?v=1763628586","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781910779309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
