{"product_id":"thousand-earths-the","title":"Thousand Earths, The","description":"In 2145AD John Hackett''s adventure is just beginning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Year 30, Mela''s story is coming to a close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHackett, in his trusty ship the Perseus, is not just a space traveller - beginning his travels with an expedition to Neptune and back - but, thanks to the time-dilation effect, a time traveller as well. His new mission will take him to Andromeda, to get a close-up look at the constellation which will eventually crash into the Milky Way, and give humanity a heads-up about the challenges which are coming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mission which will take him five million years to complete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only is Hackett exploring unknown space, but he will return to a vastly different time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMela''s world is coming to an end. Erosion is eating away at the edges of every landmass - first at a rate of ten metres a year, but fast accelerating, displacing people and animals as the rising Tide destroys everything in its path. Putting more and more pressure on the people - and resources - which remain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe and her people have always known that this long-predicted end to their home, one of the Thousand Earths, is coming - but that makes their fight to survive, to protect each other, no less desperate . . . and no less doomed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA beautiful, page-turning story which interweaves the tale of these two characters, separated by both space and time, in a hopeful exploration of humanities'' future, this is Stephen Baxter at his best.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57837004226895,"sku":"9781473228924","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781473228924_1-thousand-earths-the.jpg?v=1780340658","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/thousand-earths-the","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
