Indeed, his is one of the names which has long signified quality to a discerning audience. THE FROZEN YEAR is a highly topical novel set against the background of the International Geophysical Year. It has biting and acid reflections to make on public relations, the inner workings of large foundations-and demonstrates the surprising and wonderful ways in which human beings react to the unexpected.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50043722137842,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/7685\/4977\/files\/56428DDF-B0E1-49D7-893D-ED799DD50295.jpg?v=1788906199","url":"https:\/\/postmarkedfromthestars.com\/products\/the-frozen-year-james-blish-1957-ballantine-books-paperback","provider":"Postmarked from the Stars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
