{"product_id":"9798182558983","title":"THE GENESIS CHRONICLES: Book One: Beyond the Arctic Wall","description":"Here's a longer version for anywhere B\u0026amp;N Press (or other listings) gives you more room:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAntarctica was supposed to be the emptiest place on Earth. Dr. Elijah Carter is about to learn it's hiding the biggest secret in the galaxy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen seismic anomalies beneath the Ross Ice Shelf turn out to be nothing natural at all, geophysicist Elijah Carter and his team uncover a structure that shouldn't exist: a towering Wall, ancient beyond reckoning, built by hands no history book remembers. At its heart, a Gateway — still active, still humming with power older than civilization itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat lies beyond it rewrites everything humanity thought it knew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond the Wall stretches the Genesis Network: a vast alliance of worlds bound together not by conquest, but by trust — a legacy left behind by the Builders, an ancient race who once planted Gardens, forged Foundations, and stitched together a galaxy meant to guide, not rule. For generations, the Network has stood as a promise. Now that promise is unraveling. The Gates are failing one by one. The Gardens — living engines of knowledge and growth spanning a thousand worlds — are dying. And something far older than the Builders, older than memory itself, has begun stirring in the dark spaces between the stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrust into a conflict that spans galaxies, Elijah finds himself standing at the center of a question no explorer ever expects to face: is humanity ready to be trusted with a legacy it never earned? Alongside allies forged in crisis and enemies wearing familiar faces, he'll have to decide whether the discovery of a lifetime is actually the final test of everything his species is capable of becoming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Genesis Chronicles: Book One — Beyond the Arctic Wall is the launch of an epic science fantasy saga that fuses hard-edged mystery with ancient myth, first-contact wonder with interstellar stakes. Fans of The Expanse's sense of scale, the found-family alliances of Mass Effect, and the ancient-precursor mythology of Stargate will find a fast-moving, richly imagined start to a story about discovery, unity, and the weight of legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ice was never the mystery. It was just the door.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48534060892401,"sku":"9798182558983","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9798182558983_p0.jpg?v=1786330936","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9798182558983","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
