The stories gathered herein provide an intriguing kaleidoscopic pattern, and can justly be reckoned to be more than the sum of their parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Stableford, Catherine de Lintot, Pierre-Francois Godard de Beauchamps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612278124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612278124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Brian Stableford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068842373375,"sku":"9781612278124","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a711465-f997-42e8-b5b9-af51fbd44c6c.jpg?v=1685421311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/funestine-brian-stableford-9781612278124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
