About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Jumpnauts by Hao Jingfang, read by Catherine Ho.

A first contact SF novel, from the Hugo Award–winning author of Folding Beijing.

2080, the world is divided, dominated by two antagonistic factions, the Pacific League and the Atlantic Alliance. Tensions are high and the smallest disturbance in the status quo could set the world on fire.

And a signal flickering through deep space could be just that spark.

As three young scientists form an alliance to decode the signal, they realise that the answers don't only lie in deep space, they also lie deep in humanity's past.

What they discover will change everything: our past, present and future.

If we have one.©2024 Hao Jingfang and Ken Liu (P)2024 Simon & Schuster US

The book started with an introduction from the translator with high minded notes on the conversion to English. This set expectations for high sci-fi. Alas, what follows is at best a novel trying to be a comic. Poor set ups, magical coincidence (like the characters need to get to space…. So conveniently on of them has a familial fleet of space craft) and missed opportunities. Did not finish

Just trash
