{"product_id":"the-violent-century","title":"The Violent Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn alternative history tour-de-force. Epic, intense and authentic . . . electric' - Tom Harper, author of Zodiac Station\n\nFor seventy years they guarded the British Empire. Oblivion and Fogg, inseparable friends, bound together by a shared fate. Until one night in Berlin, in the aftermath of the Second World War, and a secret that tore them apart.\n\nBut there must always be an account . . . and the past has a habit of catching up to the present.\n\nNow, recalled to the Retirement Bureau from which no one can retire, Fogg and Oblivion must face up to a past of terrible war and unacknowledged heroism - a life of dusty corridors and secret rooms, of furtive meetings and blood-stained fields - to answer one last, impossible question:\n\nWhat makes a hero?\n\n*******************\n\nPraise for VIOLENT CENTURY:\n\n'Vintage Lavie, and also I think his most fully accomplished novel yet. If Nietzche had written an X-Men storyline whilst high on mescaline, it might have read something like VIOLENT CENTURY' - Adam Roberts, author of Jack Glass\n\n'A big, ambitious book that manages to deliver' - Glen Mehn\n\n'An elegiac espionage adventure that demands a second reading' - Metro\n\n'Provides an insight into what it takes to be human, and what can happen when we lay that humanity aside. It's a powerful novel, which will no doubt reward rereading' - Sci-Fi bulletin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HODDER \u0026 STOUGHTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973452173478,"sku":"9781444762891","price":17.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/the-violent-century-9781444762891-18482416648341.jpg?v=1656047779","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/the-violent-century","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
