{"product_id":"the-mote-in-god-s-eye-9780671741921-new","title":"The Mote in God's Eye","description":"In the year 3016, the Second Empire of Man spans hundreds of star systems, thanks to the faster-than-light Alderson Drive. No other intelligent beings have ever been encountered, not until a light sail probe enters a human system carrying a dead alien. The probe is traced to the Mote, an isolated star in a thick dust cloud, and an expedition is dispatched. In the Mote the humans find an ancient civilization--at least one million years old--that has always been bottled up in their cloistered solar system for lack of a star drive. The Moties are welcoming and kind, yet rather evasive about certain aspects of their society. It seems the Moties have a dark problem, one they've been unable to solve in over a million years.","brand":"More Than Words ","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52168112079008,"sku":"9780671741921-new","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/0115\/1392\/files\/51m3l1fBGML.jpg?v=1736301467","url":"https:\/\/shop.mtwyouth.org\/products\/the-mote-in-god-s-eye-9780671741921-new","provider":"More Than Words ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
