Despite having written award-winning science fiction for more than three decades and building up an international niche following, Chinese author-engineer Cixin Liu is still something of an enigma. And A VIEW FROM THE STARS, his second anthology of shorter essays and fiction pieces, does very little to dispel that mystique. But it nevertheless offers a wide range of distinctive and absorbing approaches to an ever-evolving genre.

A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. Are we not men? We are—well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z(2006). A zombie apocalypse is one thing.

Guest post by Cara Lopez LeeI grew up with my paternal grandparents, both first-generation Americans from different cultures. Grandma was half-Mexican and half-Chinese. Grandpa was my father’s adopted dad, a Korean American from Hawaii. To be clear, I’m not Korean, or Hawaiian, though my Korean cousins say I “have a Hawaiian heart.” My birthmother is white, but she wasn’t in the picture. I grew up steeped in Asian and Latina culture, as well as American style.

This new production of the Chinese sci-fi epic may be Rosalind Chao's first turn as an audiobook narrator, but you'd never know it. The veteran actor navigates long stretches of speculative physics and descriptions of shocking violence as ably as she voices colloquies among the characters. Listeners who come to the work from the Netflix adaptation will find Chao's warm, familiar tones--she plays astrophysicist Ye Wenjie in the series--carrying them into the Chinese milieu of the source story.

An enjoyable novel that should spark important discussion. A speculative thriller about the effects of global warming. Terrestrial temperatures will soon reach the point of no return, and authorities come up with a cockamamie scheme: Populate the stratosphere with sulfur particles to filter out much of the sunlight and cool things off. It’s called the Cocoon and covers the Northern Hemisphere, which is all the powers that be care about.
