{"product_id":"military-roads-hardcover","title":"Military Roads - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest tour de force in speculative fiction from John Fraser. The 'Military Roads' of this book, which consists of three tales running consecutively, are, first, the adventures of a narrator following the fortunes of a leader of a revolution in a distant country: second, a journey starting in the 'military road' which in Soviet times and before, ran from Moscow to the Caucasus: and finally, a mission undertaken from Italy, through North Africa, with the aim of recruiting a private army of bodyguards for a global tycoon. The narrator's amorous adventures, and his struggles to survive these radical shifts of place, commitment and perspective, conclude with a sweet-and-sour relationship with his boss's partner, and a precarious acceptance of traditional religious practices. The military roads, it is supposed, will continue to be travelled, with results which never achieve a lasting resolution, but provide temporary satisfaction for some, at least, of the protagonists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67913416802527,"sku":"9780956909862","price":37.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/KxUfZ3_lYp9780956909862.webp?v=1790995911","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/military-roads-hardcover","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
