Description
A first contact SF novel, from the Hugo Award–winning author of Folding Beijing.
2080, the world is divided, dominated by two antagonistic factions, the Pacific League and the Atlantic Alliance. Tensions are high and the smallest disturbance in the status quo could set the world on fire.
And a signal flickering through deep space could be just that spark.
As three young scientists form an alliance to decode the signal, they realise that the answers don't only lie in deep space, they also lie deep in humanity's past.
What they discover will change everything: our past, present and future.
If we have one.

Reviews
-
Uniquely taking us millions of kilometers away to experience another way of life.
Cixin Liu, New York Times bestselling author of THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM, on VAGABONDS
-
A fresh approach – emphasising Chinese history, and including scenes of martial artistry along with philosophical debates – adds extra zest to the popular idea of wise and helpful aliens in this entertaining adventure.
The Guardian
-
An invigorating, jostling mix of hard science, adventure, Chinese philosophy and good old martial arts.
Daily Mail
-
A twisty first-contact thriller...genuinely entertaining and inventive
SFX
-
Relentlessly charming... It is precisely its madcap range that makes it such a treat, its total lack of interest in distinctions between highbrow and lowbrow entertainment or between philosophy and mere fancy
Washington Post
-
The imagination and world-building is excellent and the debates about the choices and directions that human civilisation faces are interesting
