Book excerpt: The epic Chinese classic and phenomenon published in the US for the first time! Featured in iO9's 2019 Fall Preview. Set in ancient China, in a world where kung fu is magic, kingdoms vie for power and the battle to become the ultimate kung fu master unfolds, an unlikely hero is born... in the first book in the epic Legends of the Condor Heroes by the critically acclaimed master of the genre, Jin Yong. After his father—a devoted Song patriot—is murdered by the Jin empire, Guo Jing and his mother flee to the plains of Ghengis Khan and his people for refuge. For one day he must face his mortal enemy in battle in the Garden of the Drunken Immortals. Under the tutelage of Genghis Khan and The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing hones his kung fu skills. Humble, loyal and perhaps not always wise, Guo Jing faces a destiny both great and terrible. However, in a land divided—and a future largely unknown—Guo Jing must navigate love and war, honor and betrayal before he can face his own fate and become the hero he’s meant to be.

The year is 1200. The Song Empire has been defeated in the north by invading Jurchen forces. Pushed further south, the empire is in danger of collapse and the Chinese population is furious. Now it falls to lone patriots trained in the martial arts to save China. Guo Jing's father was one such hero, killed in defence of his country. His mother was forced to flee to the edges of the empire, where Guo Jing was brought up fighting with Genghis Khan. Yang Kang, Guo Jing's sworn brother since birth, grew up to a different fate among the enemy. Enter Qiu Chuji, a Taoist priest famed for his martial prowess and burning patriotism. Enlisting the help of the eccentric band of martial artists known as the Seven Freaks of the South, he must find the two young men and train them in a way befitting the memory of their fathers, to take back China."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: THE CHINESE "LORD OF THE RINGS" - NOW IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SERIES EVERY CHINESE READER HAS BEEN ENJOYING FOR DECADES - 300 MILLION COPIES SOLD. . ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST FANTASY NOVELS OF ALL TIME. "Jin Yong's work, in the Chinese-speaking world, has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars" combined" Nick Frisch, New Yorker "Like every fairy tale you're ever loved, imbued with jokes and epic grandeur. Prepare to be swept along." Jamie Buxton, Daily Mail China: 1200 A.D. The Song Empire has been invaded by its warlike Jurchen neighbours from the north. Half its territory and its historic capital lie in enemy hands; the peasants toil under the burden of the annual tribute demanded by the victors. Meanwhile, on the Mongolian steppe, a disparate nation of great warriors is about to be united by a warlord whose name will endure for eternity: Genghis Khan. Guo Jing, son of a murdered Song patriot, grew up with Genghis Khan's army. He is humble, loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated from birth to one day confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way: privileged, cunning and flawlessly trained in the martial arts. Guided by his faithful shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China - to the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing - to fulfil his destiny. But in a divided land riven by war and betrayal, his courage and his loyalties will be tested at every turn. Translated from the Chinese by Anna Holmwood

Download or read book Broken Stars written by Ken Liu and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broken Stars, edited by multi award-winning writer Ken Liu--translator of the bestselling and Hugo Award-winning novel The Three Body Problem by acclaimed Chinese author Cixin Liu-- is his second thought-provoking anthology of Chinese short speculative fiction. Some of the included authors are already familiar to readers in the West (Liu Cixin and Hao Jingfang, both Hugo winners); some are publishing in English for the first time. Because of the growing interest in newer SFF from China, virtually every story here was first published in Chinese in the 2010s. The stories span the range from short-shorts to novellas, and evoke every hue on the emotional spectrum. Besides stories firmly entrenched in subgenres familiar to Western SFF readers such as hard SF, cyberpunk, science fantasy, and space opera, the anthology also includes stories that showcase deeper ties to Chinese culture: alternate Chinese history, chuanyue time travel, satire with historical and contemporary allusions that are likely unknown to the average Western reader. While the anthology makes no claim or attempt to be "representative" or “comprehensive," it demonstrates the vibrancy and diversity of science fiction being written in China at this moment. In addition, three essays at the end of the book explore the history of Chinese science fiction publishing, the state of contemporary Chinese fandom, and how the growing interest in science fiction in China has impacted writers who had long labored in obscurity. Stories include: “Goodnight, Melancholy” by Xia Jia “The Snow of Jinyang” by Zhang Ran “Broken Stars” by Tang Fei “Submarines” by Han Song “Salinger and the Koreans” by Han Song “Under a Dangling Sky” by Cheng Jingbo “What Has Passed Shall in Kinder Light Appear” by Baoshu “The New Year Train” by Hao Jingfang “The Robot Who Liked to Tell Tall Tales” by Fei Dao “Moonlight” by Liu Cixin “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: Laba Porridge" by Anna Wu “The First Emperor’s Games” by Ma Boyong “Reflection” by Gu Shi “The Brain Box” by Regina Kanyu Wang “Coming of the Light” by Chen Qiufan “A History of Future Illnesses” by Chen Qiufan Essays: “A Brief Introduction to Chinese Science Fiction and Fandom,” by Regina Kanyu Wang, “A New Continent for China Scholars: Chinese Science Fiction Studies” by Mingwei Song “Science Fiction: Embarrassing No More” by Fei Dao For more Chinese SF in translation, check out Invisible Planets.

Book excerpt: Rane Powers is not your ordinary young man. He'd been born in a tragic scenario. His parents rushed to the hospital when Rane's mother was in labour. The night in Titan City was terrible, a thunderstorm roared through the sky and the rain poured down harder than cats and dogs. Rane's mother went in labour, his father couldn't see... the rain made it too difficult to see... CRASH!!! The car crashed into a telephone pole. Rane's father hadn't been wearing his seat belt and was thrown through the window... he did not survive. His mother had her seat belt on but with the circumstance of labour, things didn't look good. She lied on the ground; the rain flooded the streets, her baby boy was born... the telephone pole rolled off the car and hit the ground... electricity flowed through the rain water, hitting the new-born baby boy. Thanks to a Good Samaritan the boy was found and rushed to the hospital... he would survive. The problem was the young boy had a boatload of problems, from not being able to walk, to the fact his eyes were entirely blue (yes meaning his sclera was blue). The boy struggled to walk when growing up but he found it easy to swim in a pool. Water had always been a favourite of Rane while growing up. From loving to swim to when an infant he would not drink milk from his bottle, just water. As Rane grew older, he overcame his problems. His muscles got strong, almost overnight, he could walk and without a limp too. By age 12 Rane was as normal as any other 12-year-old boy... well except that his eyes remained all blue. Rane became such a normal boy that the hospital sent him off into foster care. He lived with a few families before getting adopted by the Hill Family. Now the Hill family comprised of Jackie Hill and Brian Hill. To be perfectly frank, the idea to adopt had been solely Jackie's as Brian hated kids and wanted nothing to do with one... including Rane. Young Rane had a tough time at home with Brian and at school with a trio of bullies. They all put him down and even physically harmed him. But through this punishment Rane found his body turning into water... protecting himself from the hits. Eventually his entire body turned into water, and in this form Rane was untouchable. He could form into many versions of water, from a puddle, a handmade of water, to water vapour. Yes he could do it all, he even picked a name for himself... The Rainman! Titan Techs is the leading technical company in the city, and the man who runs it, Gary Stern, is an evil man. He wants to take over the city and eventually the world! He and his team ended up building a state-of-the art killing machine dubbed the 'Mr. Titan Automaton'. The machine is 10 feet tall with a hard exterior body, the latest and greatest smart computer running inside... oh did I mention liquid mental arms that change into weapons. The newest superhero, The Rainman has to put his powers to the test while facing this incredible cyborg. They battled over and over as Titan City became a mess. Before the city gets completely destroyed, The Rainman found a way to destroy the mighty machine and beat him at his own game... on the computer. He ended the nightmare that plagued the city and let them know a hero was born.
