Divoce imaginativní sci–fi román od autora bestsellerové trilogie Vzpomínka na Zemi
On the day of his fourteenth birthday celebration, instead of happily blowing out candles on the cake, Chen witnesses the death of both parents. Directly in front of his eyes, they are killed by spherical lightning, a natural phenomenon that many scientists are still dealing with. Chen hardens and decides to dedicate himself to the exploration of ball lightning all his life.
The more Chen knows, the more he realizes that spherical lightning is just the tip of an iceberg of completely new horizons in physics. A solitary and determined scientist, through his mission, meets many people who, like him, are driven by some obsession. Like the red thread with Chen's story, his father's last words are: "Enchantment is the key to a beautiful life."
Román Kulový blesk vznikl ještě před vydáním Liou Cch’-sinovy slavné ságy Vzpomínka na Zemi a je možné ho číst nejen jako samostatné dílo, ale také jako prolog k této trilogii.
