Update: The Wandering Earth is a free download again (October 8, 2014)
Today The Wandering Earth by Liu Cixin is free to download on Amazon. This is the product description:
I’ve never seen the night, nor seen a star; I’ve seen neither spring, nor fall, nor winter. I was born at the end of the Reining Age, just as the Earth’s rotation was coming to a final halt.
The Sun is about to unleash a helium flash, threatening to swallow all terrestrial planets in the solar system. On Earth, the Unity Government has erected Earth Engines. With them it plans to propel our planet out of the solar system, setting it on a journey into outer space in search of a new sun. The Earth begins its centuries-long, wandering travels through outer space.Just as we began our journey, my grandfather passed away, his burnt body ravaged by infection. In his final moments, he repeated over and over, “Oh, Earth, my wandering Earth...”China Galaxy Science Fiction Award of Year 2000.
Descargado! Tengo muchas ganas de leer a Liu Cixin, sobretodo por lo bien que hablas de él. Por cierto, The Longest Fall también está gratuito.
ResponderEliminarGracias por el aviso. Lo debieron poner después que el otro. Actualizado.
ResponderEliminarGracias, Odo, ya lo descargué en mi kindle. He visto que dicen cosas muy buenas sobre este autor, ya es hora de leerlo. Por cierto, veo que The Longest Fall no aparece como gratuito.
ResponderEliminarEspero que te guste. Liu Cixin es de mis autores favoritos.
ResponderEliminarThe Longest Fall ya no está gratuito, no. Suelen ser ofertas de un día nada más. Lo extraño es que The Wandering Earth siga está gratis.
