{"product_id":"book-g7uy","title":"Morgue Ship","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a decade, Sam Burnett has worked aboard a morgue ship that trails behind interplanetary battles, gathering bodies long after the glory has vanished. His job is quiet, mechanical, and numbing: retrieve the dead, preserve them, return them home. The war is always over by the time he arrives. Until the day someone alive comes aboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is not a chase or a firefight, but a tightening trap inside a ship never meant for confrontation. With no weapons, no reinforcements, and no margin for error, Burnett must decide whether duty still matters when it finally collides with consequence. The silence of space presses in as every lever, every delay, and every assumption becomes dangerous. On a vessel designed only to receive the dead, one irreversible action will determine who leaves it alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRay Bradbury wrote \"Morgue Ship\" early in his career, when his science fiction was sharp, lean, and morally direct. First published in \u003cem\u003ePlanet Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, the tale belongs to a body of work that includes \u003cem\u003eThe Martian Chronicles\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Illustrated Man\u003c\/em\u003e, and dozens of short stories where ordinary people are pushed into extraordinary decisions. Here, Bradbury strips space warfare of spectacle and replaces it with fatigue, routine, and a single moment where doing the job is no longer enough.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49417435611440,"sku":"BDg7uy","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/g7uy-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770745027","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-g7uy","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
