Synopsis

"Narrators Feodor Chin and Greg Chun deftly narrate this collection of short stories from one of the most evocative science fiction writers in the business." - AudioFile Magazine

From New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu, The Wandering Earth is a science fiction short story collection featuring the title tale--the basis for the blockbuster international film, now streaming on Netflix.

These ten stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, are a blazingly original ode to planet Earth, its pasts, and its futures. Liu's fiction takes the listener 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 Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

Another excellent bit of beautiful and intriguing scifi from the Chinese master Cixin Liu. If you have read his trilogy, you will love this short story collection. The story "Wandering Earth"was made into a Chinese movie. I just watched the 2019 release of The Wandering Earth based on the eponymous......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on August 20, 2015

If I had been thinking, "What I really need right now is an awesome Big-Idea story that turns the earth into an inter-solar spaceship, reminding me pleasantly of some of the early Stephen Baxter tales," then after reading this, I'd say, "Holy shit!" Well, as it so happens, I've been in a Bigger-Is-Be......more
