For more than two hundred years humans have been hitching rides into space on vast sentient mountain ranges called Massifs in an endless interstellar war between the forces of Earth and Mars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the same unanswered questions burn behind every battle, every conquered world, every new colony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy do the Massifs carry humans to the stars?\u003cbr\u003eWhy do they help us export our wars?\u003cbr\u003eWhat's in it for them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShip crews aren't supposed to ask these questions - and they definitely aren't supposed to speak to the all-powerful avatars piloting the mountains. But when Parnell's deputy, Kaz, is stranded on an enemy planet, he needs the Massif's help to rescue her . . . and that means figuring out how to talk to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing could ever have prepared him for what he learns of the secrets fuelling their voyages across the galaxy. The only certainty amidst the dread is that there is far more at stake than the lives of his crew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garth Nix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48033222820018,"sku":"9781399627184","price":405.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781399627184.jpg?v=1789134022","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/massif-trade-paperback","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
