An international collaboration involving 26 writers and illustrators from 14 different countries have transformed 15 of Cixin Liu's - 'China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke' (New Yorker) - award-winning stories into graphic novels. Members of the Earth Protection Force circle the planet's atmosphere, neutralising threats before they come close enough to cause harm. Most days the threats come in the form of asteroids or meteorites, inanimate bodies set on a trajectory thousands of years ago - but not today. Today, a great crystal sent by a faraway, alien intelligence has been intercepted. It carries a simple message: The Devourer approaches. The Devourer consumes planets, gorging itself on the inhabitants and plundering the land, only stopping once nothing living remains. Soon, the first Devourer ship enters the solar system and Earth's fate is sealed. Sealed, that is, unless humanity can fight, and win.

NOW A #1 BLOCKBUSTING FILM The Sun is dying. Earth will perish too, consumed by the star in its final death throes. But rather than abandon their planet, humanity builds 12,000 mountainous fusion engines to propel the Earth out of orbit and onto a centuries-long voyage to Proxima Centaurai... 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: ten stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners. This collection's title story, The Wandering Earth, is the biggest SF movie ever to come out of China – taking the world's #1 box office ranking in February 2019. Liu's writing takes 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 new wave of Chinese science fiction is here. This golden age has not only resurrected the genre but also subverted its own conventions. Going beyond political utopianism and technological optimism, contemporary Chinese writers conjure glittering visions and subversive experiments—ranging from space opera to cyberpunk, utopianism to the posthuman, and parodies of China’s rise to deconstructions of the myth of national development. This anthology showcases the best of contemporary science fiction from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the People’s Republic of China. In fifteen short stories and novel excerpts, The Reincarnated Giant opens a doorway into imaginary realms alongside our own world and the history of the future. Authors such as Lo Yi-chin, Dung Kai-cheung, Han Song, Chen Qiufan, and the Hugo winner Liu Cixin—some alive during the Cultural Revolution, others born in the 1980s—blur the boundaries between realism and surrealism, between politics and technology. They tell tales of intergalactic war; decoding the last message sent from an extinct human race; the use of dreams as tools to differentiate cyborgs and humans; poets’ strange afterlife inside a supercomputer; cannibalism aboard an airplane; and unchecked development that leads to uncontrollable catastrophe. At a time when the Chinese government promotes the “Chinese dream,” the dark side of the new wave shows a nightmarish unconscious. The Reincarnated Giant is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of the genre.

Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon – now a major Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones. 1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind. Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides.

The sixth in a new series of graphic novels from Hugo Award-winning author Liu Cixin and Talos Press After infamously failing to assassinate King Zheng of Qin with a hidden dagger, the world-renowned scholar Jing Ke is tossed in prison. Yet the king is baffled: though Jing Ke conspired to kill him, he also turned his dagger’s blade away from the king and saved him. Why would Jing Ke attempt regicide . . . and why would he foil his own plot? No amount of torture will make the would-be assassin tell the truth—Jing Ke will only disclose his great secret to King Zheng himself. Under the suspicious glares of the king’s ministers, Jing Ke reveals the true purpose of his journey: to gift King Zheng with a treasure. This gift is not gold, silver, gems, or land, but rather a mathematical language that can decipher even the Will of Heaven. Once 100,000 digits of this ratio are calculated, the king would be able to perceive the Will of Heaven, understand the mysteries of the gods, and even unlock the secret of immortality. King Zheng puts his trust in Jing Ke and mobilizes three million of his elite soldiers to construct a “calculating formation” than can compute Pi at high speeds. All the while, a coup to overthrow King Zheng is steadily growing in the shadow The sixth of sixteen new graphic novels from Liu Cixin and Talos Press, The Circle is an epic tale of the future that all science fiction fans will enjoy.
