Lorsque les parents de Chen sont incinérés devant ses yeux, le soir de son quatorzième anniversaire, par l’explosion d’une foudre en boule, il jure de consacrer sa vie à l’élucidation de ce phénomène naturel resté mystérieux pour la science. Sa quête le mènera au sommet de montagnes battues par la tempête, dans des laboratoires militaires d’armes expérimentales et dans une station scientifique soviétique désaffectée en pleine Sibérie. Il comprend bientôt que la foudre en boule constitue la manifestation d’un plan de réalité encore inconnu jusqu’ici. Cette découverte sera peut-être la clé permettant de comprendre l’une des caractéristiques les plus singulières de la foudre en boule : sa sélectivité. Elle est en effet capable d’incinérer une personne à l’intérieur de ses vêtements en laissant ceux-ci intacts. Si l’homme apprend à diriger cette sélectivité, il détiendra l’arme ultime.

Work Description

When Chen's parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of this mysterious natural phenomenon. His search takes him to stormy mountaintops, an experimental military weapons lab, and an old Soviet science station. The more he learns, the more he comes to realize that ball lightning is just the tip of an entirely new frontier. While Chen's quest for answers gives purpose to his lonely life, it also pits him against soldiers and scientists with motives of their own: a beautiful army major with an obsession with dangerous weaponry, and a physicist who has no place for ethical considerations in his single-minded pursuit of knowledge.
