 On his fourteenth birthday, right before his eyes, Chen's parents are incinerated by a blast of ball lightning. Striving to make sense of this bizarre tragedy, he dedicates his life to a single goal: to unlock the secrets of this enigmatic natural phenomenon. His pursuit of ball lightning will take him far from home, across mountain peaks chasing storms and deep into highly classified subterranean laboratories. Chen's obsession gives purpose to his lonely life, but he will be pitted against scientists, soldiers and governments with motives of their own. Cixin Liu is one of the world’s most highly regarded Sci-Fi authors. As the New Yorker Magazine states - 'He is China's answer to Arthur C Clarke'.
