In \"Early Summer,\" a boy's first crush leads to the joy of reciprocity, while in \"An Understanding,\" bitterness, anger, and regret, fill the days of a man whose arrogance has cost him everything he didn't know he needed, while \"Lullaby\" reveals a glimpse of the life after this one. This genre-spanning collection includes the award-winning literary fiction \"Fitting In,\" the sci-fi dystopia of \"Farewell, Hollywood,\" and the bizarre horror and dark humor of \"A Time to Dance,\" and \"The Not-Zombies Apocalypse.\" From the surreal to the sublime, the stories in \"Nightmares \u0026amp; Lullabies\" are fearless, unapologetic, and rife with moral ambiguity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50993998135569,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50993998889233,"sku":"NIN9781965621028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1965621023.jpg?v=1751094213"},{"product_id":"beyond-the-rivers-of-time-book-ronald-mcguire-9781965621042","title":"Beyond the Rivers of Time","description":"An interstellar spacecraft crashes on an alien world, where a mysterious force alters the crew's sense of humanity, sending them on a quest for answers, and survival.\nA journey of discovery, 13 lightyears across the galaxy in an untested starship, will forever alter the course of human history, in ways no one can predict. Unless, of course, they're a member of the Temporal Guards.\nHumanity's first attempt at interstellar travel ended with a cataclysmic explosion. With no sign of the ship and crew for over a year, the people of the Sol System are left grieving the loss of Captain Charles Bimmy and his scientist wife, Becca Kiel. \nBut on the Deimos Colony orbiting Mars, a young astrophysicist, Dex Farber, has discovered convincing evidence indicating the crew not only survived, but are now trapped at their destination, the planet Luyten b. \nA rescue mission is set in motion, and the stakes are nothing less than the fate of the known galaxy, and humanity's place in it. \n\"Beyond Tomorrow's Sun\" is the story of the meaning of home and family, and a young boy's search for both. \"Beyond the Rivers of Time\" scales those ideas to galactic proportions, and examines the very nature of time, while exploring what it means to be human in the face of rapid technological change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52757523071249,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52757524119825,"sku":"NIN9781965621042","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-ronald-mcguire.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
