{"product_id":"die-shadow-algis-budrys-9789354944963","title":"Die, Shadow!","description":"A quiet, electrifying warning wrapped in a crisp mid-century voice. Die, Shadow! stares into the edges of space and humanity with calm clarity, drawing you in with a single question: what makes us us when the unknown asks to become us? In this restored edition, Budrys guards a compact, high-tension science fiction short story that feels both classic and urgently contemporary. A tense encounter with what might be or might become, the tale explores human identity themes and the fear of the unknown through tight prose and a brisk, asimov style science fiction heartbeat. It reads like space age science fiction and Clark classic space fiction-precise, ideas-forward, and beautifully economical-perfect for both new sci fi readers and seasoned collectors seeking a mid century echo. Die, Shadow! matters beyond its page count: it is a note in history about postwar America's optimism and anxiety, a story that asks ethical questions in technology without sermonising. For science fiction collectors and curious browsers alike, the work remains a classic that rewards rereading as new contexts unfold. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A compact, powerful gem for readers who relish a thoughtful, human-centred science fiction experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Algis Budrys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9354944965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789354944963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alpha Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.06d","brand":"Algis Budrys","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437400895743,"sku":"9789354944963","price":17.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80bf0c4e-9834-478f-a4fb-912821575b8e.jpg?v=1777161558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/die-shadow-algis-budrys-9789354944963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
