{"product_id":"the-worthing-saga","title":"The Worthing Saga","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrson Scott Card is \"a master of the art of storytelling\" (Booklist)  and The Worthing Saga is a story that only he could have written.  It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live  if not forever  then for a long  long time. Some people  anyway. The rich  the powerful--they lived their lives at the rate of one year every ten. Some created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died  and those who slept away the decades  skipping over the intervening years and events. It allowed great plans to be put in motion. It allowed interstellar Empires to be built.  It came near to destroying humanity.  After a long  long time of decadence and stagnation  a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. They carried human embryos and supplies  and teaching robots  and one man. The Worthing Saga is the story of one of these men  Jason Worthing  and the world he found for the seed he carried.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947708543029,"sku":"ByrdShop_0812533313","price":26.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780812533316_31828305-d41b-414a-a830-0242a47f31a3.jpg?v=1770552588","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-worthing-saga","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
