Description
When Chen's parents are incinerated by a blast of ball lightning on his 14th birthday, he dedicates his life to unlocking its secrets. His pursuit takes him across mountain peaks and into highly classified laboratories, as he slowly unveils a new frontier in particle physics.
Chen's obsession gives purpose to his lonely life, but it also pits him against scientists, soldiers, and governments with their own motives for his discoveries. A physicist driven solely by knowledge, an army major obsessed with new ways to wage war, and a desperate nation facing military defeat - all are drawn into Chen's quest.
Cixin Liu's novel conjures awe-inspiring worlds of cosmology and philosophy from meticulous scientific speculation. With its scope and imagination reminiscent of award-winning works, Ball Lightning is a gripping tale that explores the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding.
