书籍简介

在他14岁生日那天，就在他的眼前，一股球状闪电将他的父母烧成灰烬。 为了弄清这一离奇的悲剧，他把一生都献给了一个目标:解开这一神秘的自然现象的秘密。 他对球形闪电的追求将带他远离家乡，穿越山峰追逐风暴，深入高度机密的地下实验室，慢慢揭开粒子物理学的新领域。  

陈的痴迷使他孤独的生活有了意义，但这并不能使他远离现实世界对他发现的兴趣。 他将与科学家、士兵和政府各自为战:一个在追求知识的过程中没有道德判断空间的物理学家; 一位美丽的陆军少校痴迷于发动战争的新方法; 一个注定要战败的绝望的国家。  

《球状闪电》从严谨的科学推测中创造出令人敬畏的宇宙学和哲学新世界，其范围和想象力让刘慈欣获奖的《三体》三部曲的读者着迷不已。  

On his fourteenth birthday, right before his eyes, Chen's parents are incinerated by a blast of ball lightning. Striving to make sense of this bizarre tragedy, he dedicates his life to a single goal: to unlock the secrets of this enigmatic natural phenomenon. His pursuit of ball lightning will take him far from home, across mountain peaks chasing storms and deep into highly classified subterranean laboratories as he slowly unveils a new frontier in particle physics.

Chen's obsession gives purpose to his lonely life, but it can't insulate him from the real world's interest in his discoveries. He will be pitted against scientists, soldiers and governments with motives of their own: a physicist who has no place for moral judgement in his pursuit of knowledge; a beautiful army major obsessed with new ways to wage war; a desperate nation facing certain military defeat.

Conjuring awe-inspiring new worlds of cosmology and philosophy from meticulous scientific speculation, Ball Lightning has all the scope and imagination that so enthralled readers of Cixin Liu's award-winning Three-Body trilogy.
