Description
A wildly imaginative sci-fi novel by the author of the bestselling trilogy Remembrance of Earth. On the day of his fourteenth birthday celebration, Chen witnesses the death of both his parents instead of happily blowing out the candles on his cake. A ball lightning kills them right before his eyes, a natural phenomenon that many scientists are still studying today. Chen hardens and decides to dedicate his entire life to studying ball lightning. The more Chen learns, the more he realizes that ball lightning is just the tip of the iceberg of entirely new horizons in physics. The solitary and determined scientist meets many people who, like him, are driven by some obsession. The last words of his father run like a red thread through Chen's story: "The key to a beautiful life is enchantment." The novel Ball Lightning was created before the release of Liu Cixin's famous saga Remembrance of Earth and can be read not only as a standalone work but also as a prelude to this trilogy.
