She must enlist the support of bureaucrats and media moguls, however unnatural (to her) their thought processes might be. Her intense efforts succeed, but can her species survive the long years underground? Can they remain sane? Will the surviving citizens be able to rebuild their society, when the hard radiation abates? How will Sckcksoub occupy her time, when only the collapsed core of the offending star remains?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45555796508823,"sku":"9798420895924","price":1031.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798420895924.webp?v=1767917316","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-astral-menace-9798420895924","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
