Product Information
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Three-Body Trilogy, Cixin Liu's Ball Lightning is the story of what happens when the beauty of scientific inquiry runs up against the drive to harness new discoveries with no consideration of their possible consequences. When Chen's parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of this mysterious natural phenomenon. His search takes him to stormy mountaintops, an experimental military weapons lab, and an old Soviet science station. The more he learns, the more he comes to realize that ball lightning is just the tip of an entirely new frontier. While Chen's quest for answers gives purpose to his lonely life, it also pits him against soldiers and scientists with motives of their own: a beautiful army major with an obsession with dangerous weaponry, and a physicist who has no place for ethical considerations in his single-minded pursuit of knowledge. "Wildly imaginative."--Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy Tor books by Cixin Liu The Remembrance of Earth's Past #1 The Three-Body Problem #2 The Dark Forest #3 Death's End

Reviews
Praise for The Three-Body Problem : "Liu successfully interweaves hard science and adventure in this series debut." --The Washington Post "It is wonderful to read this state-of-the-art example of Chinese science fiction, which sweeps with an immense narrative energy from the historical trauma of the Cultural Revolution to the cosmic trauma of alien contact. Ken Liu's excellent translation combines fluid clarity with a continuous view into Chinese worldviews, adding to the fun and making this the best kind of science fiction, familiar but strange all at the same time. I hope we'll get to read more by Liu Cixin, and for now applaud this great entry." --Kim Stanley Robinson, "Wildly imaginative, really interesting." ?President Barack Obama on the Three-Body Problem trilogy " A breakthrough book . . . a unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology." -- George R. R. Martin , on The Three Body Problem " Extraordinary ." -- The New Yorker, on The Three Body Problem "Remarkable, revelatory and not to be missed ." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review , on The Three Body Problem "A must-read in any language." -- Booklist , on The Three Body Problem "A meditation on technology, progress, morality, extinction, and knowledge that doubles as a cosmos-in-the-balance thriller.... a testament to just how far [Liu's] own towering imagination has taken him: Far beyond the borders of his country, and forever into the canon of science fiction . - NPR, on Death's End " The best kind of science fiction , familiar but strange all at the same time." -- Kim Stanley Robinson , on The Three Body Problem, Praise for The Three - Body Problem :"Liu Cixin's writing evokes the thrill of exploration and the beauty of scale.... Extraordinary." - The New Yorker "Turns a boilerplate, first-contact concept into something absolutely mind-unfolding." -NPR "A milestone in Chinese science fiction... . Has gained a following beyond the small but flourishing science-fiction world here [and] breathed new life into a genre."- The New York Times "If you love computers, this novel should be on your must-read list." -Annalee Newitz, Gizmodo, Praise for The Three-Body Trilogy "Wildly imaginative, really interesting." --President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy "The Three-Body epic concludes with sweep and scope and majesty, worthy of Frederik Pohl or Poul Anderson, Scholar Wu or H. G. Wells. The universe is likely to be a rough neighborhood. See just how rough...and how life might still prevail." --David Brin on Death's End "If you thought The Three-Body Problem and The Dark Forest were expansive, they're nothing compared to Death's End .... A testament to just how far [Liu's] own towering imagination has taken him: Far beyond the borders of his country, and forever into the canon of science fiction." -- NPR on Death's End "Compelling reading...the most mind-bending of them all.... Liu's picture of humanity's place in the cosmos is among the biggest, boldest and most disturbing we've seen." -- The Los Angeles Times Liu Cixin's writing evokes the thrill of exploration and the beauty of scale.... Extraordinary. -- The New Yorker [Cixin h]as gained a following beyond the small but flourishing science-fiction world here [and] breathed new life into a genre . . . The "Three-Body" tomes chronicle a march of the human race into the universe set against the recent past, the tumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution. It is a classic science-fiction story in the style of the British master Arthur C. Clarke. -- The New York Times Utterly, utterly brilliant. The Three-Body trilogy is nothing short of a masterpiece. -- Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award winning author of Osama "A breakthrough book . . ., a unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology." --George R. R. Martin on The Three-Body Problem The Three-Body Problem deserves all of its plaudits. It's an exceptional novel, and Ken Liu's translation is both smooth and unintrusive. --Mike Resnick, multiple Hugo Award winner "Ken Liu's excellent translation combines fluid clarity with a continuous view into Chinese worldviews, adding to the fun and making this the best kind of science fiction, familiar but strange all at the same time.I hope we'll get to read more by Cixin Liu, and for now applaud this great entry." --Kim Stanley Robinson on The Three Body Problem A tour-de-force walk through Chinese and world history. The Three-Body Problem merges virtual realities, alien invasions and exciting science, and manages to make them all fresh. --Aliette de Bodard, Nebula Award winner Cixin Liu brings to the reader a deep and insightful vision of China past and future. First-rate work by a powerful new voice. --Ben Bova, multiple Hugo Award winner, on The Three Body Problem, "Wildly imaginative, really interesting." --President Barack Obama on TheThree-Body Problem trilogy "The Three-Body epic concludes with sweep and scope and majesty, worthy of FrederikPohl or Poul Anderson, Scholar Wu or H.
