Welcome to The Worlds of Cixin Liu, a series of graphic novels created by 26 writers and illustrators from 14 different countries to salute the unique imagination of China' s science fiction grandmaster. Xianyang, capital of the state of Qin, 227 BC. Before the great king, Ying Zheng, ruler of the state of Qin, stands the emissary of the state of Yan, Jing Ke. Charged with the attempted assassination of Zheng, he has been sentenced to death. But the king recognises before him not only a noble man, but a highly intelligent one too, so he is spared and made one of the king' s advisors. Obsessed by the search for eternal life, Zheng sets his new advisor to apply his mathematical studies to this pursuit. Jing Ke calls upon the numbers and shapes which the Heavens confer unto him, to calculate a figure that will reveal that great secret. . .

Xavier Besse is a French comic book artist. He is a graduate of the Ecole du Louvre and of the University of London, and of the China department of the Guimet Museum in Paris. He first began as an illustrator of illustrated books for children published by the Reunion des Musees Nationaux, but after a few decisive encounters with writers, such as Jean-David Morvan and Olivier Supiot, he now devotes himself mainly to comics. His interest in Sinology inspired him to create Laowai in 2017, a series of historical adventures that plunges readers into nineteenth-century Chinese history. Cixin Liu is China' s #1 SF writer and author of The Three-Body Problem - the first ever translated novel to win a Hugo Award. Prior to becoming a writer, Liu worked as an engineer in a power plant in Yangquan.
