by Cixin Liu
<b>An international collaboration involving 26 writers and illustrators from 14 different countries have transformed 15 of Cixin Liu's – 'China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke' (<i>New Yorker</i>) – award-winning stories into graphic novels.</b><br><br>It was the Ice and Snow Arts Festival that lured the low-temperature artist to Earth. Drawn by the beauty and technical skill of the sculptures displayed, the extraterrestrial visitor longed to collaborate and share its own art.<br><br>But while humans learnt to craft ice into exquisite ephemera, the low-temperature artist's civilisation mastered the manipulation of whole worlds to create artworks – drawing on the seas and ice caps, and cooling their temperature to beautiful effect.<br><br>Faced with the inevitable devastation and heat death of their planet, humankind must use their final breaths to fight for existence. But the artist will only speak to one human: Yan Dong, the ice sculptor whose beautiful work first drew its eye.<br>Praise for Cixin Liu:<br>'Your next favourite sci-fi novel' <i><b>Wired</b></i><br><br>'Immense' <b>Barack Obama</b><br><br>'Unique' <b>George R.R.
