The job's good for the body but a waste for the mind. Other than playing the ocarina, it's the whole of Tod's life--and it isn't for him. When a trail appears out of the blue, gambling on fate, he follows it through the city, across the country, and into a realm of adventure and uncertainty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Navigating the path, Tod encounters each new being one by one--human, nonhuman, and something else altogether. They come from alternate realities: periods in time that aren't being clocked and places no one can prove are there. Who are these creatures, and why do they exist?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The answers are in the Amoeba, an entity neither intelligent nor conscious, yet as omnipresent as a god. In short order, it's up to Tod to differentiate friends from foes, lust from love, and fantasy from reality to save and protect the one thing that connects them all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media Science \u0026amp; Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781504039529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.01h x 5.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Piers Anthony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38293756346549,"sku":"9781504039529","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e715c58f-5016-4f41-bb50-56d006e01d79.jpg?v=1611064207","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/amoeba-9781504039529","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
