Written by renowned astrophysicist Fred Hoyle, the novel brings a rare scientific authenticity to its suspenseful narrative, as the protagonist uncovers layer after layer of Cold War-era intrigue surrounding the corporation's inexplicably advanced technological breakthroughs. Hoyle masterfully blends espionage tension with hard science speculation, presenting a story that keeps readers off-balance with unexpected twists rooted in genuinely provocative ideas about the origins of scientific knowledge. The result is a taut, intellectually charged adventure that stands as a unique artifact of mid-twentieth century science fiction, where the paranoia of the atomic age meets the boundless ambition of speculative thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839330169051,"sku":"2026770001910-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e641c3fc-89ce-47f8-a47d-5bd351dff539.png?v=1780560668","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001910-secondhand-ossians-ride","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
