A review by sprague
Ball Lightning Sneak Peek by Cixin Liu

4.0

A boy devotes his life to understanding a strange static lightning phenomenon after seeing his parents incinerated by it.

This Chinese author is gaining worldwide fame, and I concluded that the phenomenon he has become is well-deserved. Chinese SF is carving out its own niche as an interesting genre involving semi-realistic technology in the near future, explore its effect on people, individuals. This book fits the bill.
