About this title

Review:

'Complex and grandiose ... this is a mind-altering and immersive experience' Daily Mail.

'A marvellous mélange of awe-inspiring scientific concepts ... exhilarating, mind-stretching' TLS.

'Top-flight SF; smart, informative and engaging' SFX.

'Liu conjures up a genuine sense of wonder' SFX.

'Absolutely fantastic ... The hardback is a thing of beauty and its translations are wonderful' --For Winter Nights.

'A wonderful collection and brings Cixin Liu's own unique flavour to the genre' --SF Crows Nest.

'Liu uses the exotic foreignness of alien environments to lure readers into an enchanted literary escape pod. The story's backdrop might be one of spectacular beauty or entropic devastation but the distancing effect its abnormality provides is always stirring' --Big Issue.
