Synopsis "Ball Lightning "

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 Three-Body Problem Series#1 The Three-Body Problem#2 The Dark Forest#3 Death's End

Cixin Liu is the most prolific and popular science fiction author of the People's Republic of China. Liu has been awarded the Galaxy Award eight times (the equivalent in his country to the Hugo Award) and the Chinese Nebula, before turning his "Three-Body Trilogy" into a work capable of selling a million copies just in China, arousing unanimous interest throughout the West, winning the 2015 Hugo Award for best novel, and earning endorsements from the likes of Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg

His huge success is now repeated in all international markets, thanks to fans of the genre, but also, and above all, to the millions of readers interested in current geopolitical affairs and in the past and future of China. They are all the ones who have managed to turn a perfect stranger, coming from the most mysterious and hermetic East, into one of the great literary sensations of recent years

Before becoming a writer, Liu worked as an engineer at a power plant in Yangquan, Shanxi province, now temporarily closed due to air pollution
