{"product_id":"direct-descent-9781614752929","title":"Direct Descent by Herbert, Frank","description":"Earth has become a library planet for thousands of years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge-esoterica of all types, history, science, politics-gathered by teams of \"pack rats\" who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful government . . . and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Herbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wordfire Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614752929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Herbert (1920-1986) created the most beloved novel in the annals of science fiction, DUNE. He was a man of many facets, of countless passageways that ran through an intricate mind. His magnum opus is a reflection of this, a classic work that stands as one of the most complex, multi-layered novels ever written in any genre. Today the novel is more popular than ever, with new readers continually discovering it and telling their friends to pick up a copy. It has been translated into dozens of languages and has sold almost 20 million copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wordfire Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43870255120537,"sku":"9781614752929","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/img_873423c0-66ee-4fb6-9280-61ba9e123e4a.jpg?v=1724785324","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/direct-descent-9781614752929","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
