After this event, Chen immediately decided to devote his entire life to unravel the secret behind the occurrence of the ball lightning. “The key to a wonderful life is a fascination with something.”īut then what happened when that fascination turns into an obsession? The story starts when Chen’s parents are incinerated by a blast of ball lightning right before his eyes. Plus, the fact that Ball Lightning is translated by Joel Martinsen, the same translator of The Dark Forest, made me eager to read this one. The second book in that series, The Dark Forest remains in my personal top three sci-fi novels of all time and will most likely stay there for a very long time. I’m a fan of Cixin Liu’s Remembrance of Earth Past trilogy. In Ball Lightning, Cixin Liu greatly examined the effects of obsession with science and weaponry.
