This is one of the best science fiction novels I’ve read
in a long time. It’s filled with smart sciencific theory, historical details of China and
some visual concepts that I still can’t get out of my mind. China sends out a
signal to the stars in an attempt to find intelligent life. Except when a lone
scientist receives a message basically begging her not to respond, what is she
to do, a woman who watched her family be torn apart by revolution, a woman who
believes with all her heart Earth needs to be challenged? She joins the enemy.
The first part of a trilogy, I can’t wait for the other translated parts to
come out. It’s so nice to be able to read science fiction from another
culture’s point of view. There are so many parts to this book that I found
inspiring and made me want to look for other countries best of the genre. So do
yourself a favor and read this book, embrace your puny existence and challenge
the idea that science fiction is only an American craft. Grade: A
