The Wandering Earth

Author(s): Cixin Liu

Sci Fi/Fantasy

Cixin Liu is one of the most important voices in world Science Fiction. A bestseller in China, his novel, The Three-Body Problem, was the first translated work of SF ever to win the Hugo Award.


Here is the first collection of his short fiction: these stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, form a blazingly original ode to planet earth - its pasts and its futures.


Liu's fictions take the reader to the edge of the universe and the end of time, to meet stranger fates than we could have ever imagined. With a melancholic and keen understanding of human nature, Liu's stories show humanity's attempts to reason, navigate and, above all, survive in a desolate cosmos.

'A wonderful collection and brings Cixin Liu's own unique flavour to the genre' SF Crows Nest. 'Absolutely fantastic ... The hardback is a thing of beauty and its translations are wonderful' For Winter Nights. 'Liu conjures up a genuine sense of wonder' SFX. 'Top-flight SF; smart, informative and engaging' SFX. 'A marvellous melange of awe-inspiring scientific concepts ... exhilarating, mind-stretching' TLS. 'Complex and grandiose ... this is a mind-altering and immersive experience' Daily Mail.
