About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents The Wandering Earth by Cixin Liu, read by Jeremy Domingo.

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.

'Cixin's trilogy is SF in the grand style, a galaxy-spanning, ideas-rich narrative of invasion and war' GUARDIAN.

I find the narration a bit robotic enough that I would avoid books narated by the same person in future. I do feel that is very much just my opinion and would encourage listening to a sample

As usual I’m amazed and grateful to have to hear Cixin Liu’s work read to me so well! You can hear both the depth of Liu’s literary lineage and get a sense of the breadth of his mind as he brings forth tale after tale from the stars and from the center of the earth. A wonderful listen!

Astonishing & Admirable

I really enjoy longer books and don’t mind them getting more abstract in detail, but I found this one difficult to stick with.

Just lost interest

just a mess of short stories and illogical changes. it goes back on what it said in each new story

an absolute mess

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It’s almost as if the Author forgot his original idea so just started writing short, unrelated stories.
Not good.
