Summary
"Wildly imaginative." (Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy)
A new standalone military science fiction adventure from the New York Times best-selling and award-winning author of the Three-Body Trilogy.
When Chen’s parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of the mysterious natural phenomenon. His search takes him to stormy mountaintops, an experimental military weapons lab, and an old Soviet science station.
The more he learns, the more he comes to realize that ball lightning is just the tip of an entirely new frontier in particle physics. Although Chen’s quest provides a purpose for his lonely life, his reasons for chasing his elusive quarry come into conflict with soldiers and scientists who have motives of their own: a beautiful army major with an obsession with dangerous weaponry, and a physicist who has no place for ethical considerations in his single-minded pursuit of knowledge.
Ball Lightning, by award-winning Chinese science fiction author Cixin Liu, is a fast-paced audiobook about what happens when the beauty of scientific inquiry runs up against a push to harness new discoveries with no consideration of their possible consequences.
This program is read by Feodor Chin, voice of Zenyatta in Overwatch.

Interesting fresh story line
I like the fresh take on Sci fi that is not US or Western Europe Centric... I am looking forward to seeing how this author evolves

a true captivating story
I loved this book! the story describes the struggles of scientists trying to proof their theories. This combined with a science fiction aspect which could be real. As a side plus I even have a better understanding of quantum physics.
The narrator has a pleasant voice and the whole made me want to listen to the end in one go (and there aren't many books with which I have that urge to finish it).
