G. Wells and Jules Verne, Stanisław Lem's \u003ci\u003eThe Invincible\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a space cruiser sent to an obscure planet to determine the fate of a sister spaceship whose communication with Earth has abruptly ceased. Landing on the planet Regis III, navigator Rohan and his crew discover a form of life that has apparently evolved from autonomous, self-replicating machines—perhaps the survivors of a “robot war.” Rohan and his men are forced to confront the classic quandary: what course of action can humanity take once it has reached the limits of its knowledge? In \u003ci\u003eThe Invincible\u003c\/i\u003e, Lem has his characters confront the inexplicable and the bizarre: the problem that lies just beyond analytical reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stanisław Lem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48533622489315,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/9697\/1491\/files\/BNCImage_4d97789b-ecba-4e0f-a03e-f2f4e82118ed.jpg?v=1774303123","url":"https:\/\/paperbirchbooks.ca\/products\/the-invincible","provider":"Paper Birch Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
