In the not too distant future, our sun can support terrestrial life no longer.
Seeking to avoid humanity's extinction, countries around the world internationally forge the United Earth Government.
And it is decided that a new sun must be sought in the Alpha Centauri system, and that Earth must be propelled there by gigantic fusion powered thrusters strategically located around the imperilled globe.
As the Earth's rotation ceases, after the jets are turned on, colossal tidal waves shock the surface dwelling population, many others eventually finding refuge beneath its inhospitable crust.
These subterranean cities bravely incubate civilization and boldly rear the next generation with feisty underground enterprise.
But Earth's path leads it too close to miserly Jupiter, whose cruel and voracious gravity gravely threaten interstellar propulsion.
Fortunately, two mischievous youths, a brother and sister no less, have recklessly made their way to the frozen surface, strict punishment swiftly awaiting, as massive earthquakes malign worldwide.
Little did they know, when they set out that day, that they would become integral leaders in a wild improvised effort to reignite the disabled thrusters and break free from Jupiter's clutches.
The world desperately requiring resolve.
The planet galactically inducing their reckoning.
Frant Gwo's Liu Lang Di Qiu takes sci-fi to another level, courageously imagining the most distraught of extremes, then audaciously presenting them with enriched hope-fuelled probability.
Manifold variables are symphonically strung as tumultuous dispersals chaotically sizzle.
Catastrophe strikes with dependable fidelity as constant threats harken cold glacial stark entropy.
Team-based integrity internationally coalesced accentuates cooperative benefits that unleash instincts eternal.
Identity politics challenge concepts of belonging as shortsighted prejudices are critiqued and exposed.
The world, faced with an overwhelming discombobulating uprooting discourteous challenge, comes together to thwart impossibility, ensuring continuous life thereby, plus innovative infused prosperity.
As it should to combat global warming.
In an unprecedented aware multilateral interconnected age.
It would have been cool if there had been more animals in the underground cities.
A planetary meow.
An altruistic bark.
