Images from that war -- and the protests against it -- had flooded America's living rooms for a decade. \u003cem\u003eHearts in Atlantis\u003c\/em\u003e, King's newest fiction, is composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War.\u003cbr\u003e   In Part One, \"Low Men in Yellow Coats,\" eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighbourhood. He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror.\u003cbr\u003e   In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest . . . and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast.\u003cbr\u003e   In \"Blind Willie\" and \"Why We're in Vietnam,\" two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow -- and as haunted -- as their own lives.\u003cbr\u003e   And in \"Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling,\" this remarkable book's denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart's desire may await him.\u003cbr\u003e   Full of danger, full of suspense, most of all full of \u003cem\u003eheart\u003c\/em\u003e, Stephen King's new book will take some readers to a place they have never been . . . and others to a place they have never been able to completely leave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(163, 29, 16);\"\u003e*from the Author's Note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGenres:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eorror - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eFantasy - Short Stories - Thriller - Mystery - Suspense - Historical Fiction - Supernatural\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eVery good\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e1999 by Scribner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e523\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emoji\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e0684853515\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e 900g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"King, Stephen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover: 24 x 16.2 x 4.3 cm","offer_id":42142278516822,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/2350\/4982\/files\/20250222_191459_2.jpg?v=1740280107","url":"https:\/\/www.secondhandpages.com.au\/products\/stephen-king-hearts-in-atlantis","provider":"Secondhand Pages ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
