To survive, humanity constructs massive engines on Earth that keep running nonstop, gradually taking Earth out of the Sun's orbit. Braking, escaping, and hostile living conditions wear down humanity's hope. People who believe that civilization has already been destroyed form a rebel faction, carrying out a ruthless execution of those who still believe that the Sun will undergo a helium flash. <p/> The second of sixteen new graphic novels from Liu Cixin and Talos Press, <i>The Wandering Earth </i>is an epic tale of the future that all science fiction fans will enjoy.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Cixin Liu</b> is the most prolific and popular science fiction writer in China, as well as a senior engineer.
