{"product_id":"the-clarkl-soup-kitchens-mary-carmen-9781418480318","title":"The Clarkl Soup Kitchens","description":"Clarkl is a planet of cold days and even colder nights. Although Clarkl's star is not visible from Earth, Clarkl's advanced technology allows its natives to visit Earth and take Earthlings back to Clarkl for work. In the early 2070s, the American government entered into a contract with the people of Clarkl to manage and staff farms and kitchens to feed some of the large numbers of Clarkl natives who are faced with the planet's ever-present famine. The American government received certain critical minerals from Clarkl, and the Clarklians received the services of farmers and cooks. This novel presents the diaries of five Americans who went to Clarkl for work in the dining rooms. They left troubling problems on Earth to go to Clarkl for a guaranteed monthly income and a decade of hard work. The diaries discuss the ugly Clarkl natives, with all seven sexes described. Three imaginative illustrations by Lance Jackson show these natives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Carmen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1418480312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781418480318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.32w x 0.97d","brand":"Mary Carmen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088191271167,"sku":"9781418480318","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b530ce8-b2b4-473b-a6cd-7aed4439db40.jpg?v=1769103561","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-clarkl-soup-kitchens-mary-carmen-9781418480318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
