{"product_id":"glory-season","title":"David Brin: Glory Season [1998] paperback","description":"Long ago, the Founding Mothers left old Earth and the Phylum Worlds, seeking a hidden place to reforge human destiny. Through genetic wizardry, they have altered human sexual patterns. For most of the year, any child born on the planet Stratos is a clone of her mother, identical to all the sisters in her veritable clan. Only in summer are 'vars' conceived - old-fashioned, gene-mixed girls, and even sometimes boys - each one garishly, ignobly unique.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e   Maia, one lonely young var, grows up knowing she must summon all her skill to win a place in this world run by and for high-caste clanswomen, a world far gentler than those of the old Phylum . . . except for those rare seasons of change, when the planet seems to call its people forth to glory.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e   Rich in texture, universal in theme, monumental in scope, GLORY SEASON is a saga of remarkable passion and drama, set in a faraway place and time but shining light upon issues vexing our own confused era.","brand":"Brin, David","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":47444218577235,"sku":"XG81857232028","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":49440269893971,"sku":"9781857232028","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/brin-david-david-brin-glory-season-1998-paperback-59026441863507.jpg?v=1726904654","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/glory-season","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
