Jumpnauts by Hao Jingfang

Jumpnauts by Hao Jingfang

A first contact SF novel, from the Hugo Awardwinning author of Folding Beijing.

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 * Birmingham SF Group *
