The Khan is ninety-three years old, his life systems sustained by the skill of Mordecai Shadrach, a brilliant young surgeon whose chief function is to replace the Khan's worn-out organs. Within the vast tower-complex, the most advanced equipment is dedicated to three top-priority projects, each designed to keep the Khan immortal. Most sinister of these is Project Avatar, by which the Khan's mind and persona are to be transferred to a younger body.\u003cbr\u003eShadrach makes the unsettling discovery that it is his body that is to be used. His friends beg him to flee, but he refuses to panic. Instead, and with startling composure, he evolves a dangerous plan that could change the face of the earth or, if it backfires, mean the end of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShadrach in the Furnace\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a broad, sweeping novel and a harsh, abrasive, irreverent book about a life-and-death battle between two titans--one the epitome of evil, the other a paragon of idealism--in a society pushed to extremes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803216310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Robert Silverberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643625369756,"sku":"9780803216310","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7e4e8d9e-0507-4bfd-a065-b6d76740a8cd.jpg?v=1603856966","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/shadrach-in-the-furnace-9780803216310","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
