About the Book

The sixth in a new series of graphic novels from Hugo Award-winning author Liu Cixin and Talos Press

After infamously failing to assassinate King Zheng of Qin with a hidden dagger, the world-renowned scholar Jing Ke is tossed in prison. Yet the king is baffled: though Jing Ke conspired to kill him, he also turned his dagger's blade away from the king and saved him. Why would Jing Ke attempt regicide . . . and why would he foil his own plot? No amount of torture will make the would-be assassin tell the truth--Jing Ke will only disclose his great secret to King Zheng himself.

Under the suspicious glares of the king's ministers, Jing Ke reveals the true purpose of his journey: to gift King Zheng with a treasure. This gift is not gold, silver, gems, or land, but rather a mathematical language that can decipher even the Will of Heaven. Once 100,000 digits of this ratio are calculated, the king would be able to perceive the Will of Heaven, understand the mysteries of the gods, and even unlock the secret of immortality. King Zheng puts his trust in Jing Ke and mobilizes three million of his elite soldiers to construct a "calculating formation" than can compute Pi at high speeds. All the while, a coup to overthrow King Zheng is steadily growing in the shadow

The sixth of sixteen new graphic novels from Liu Cixin and Talos Press, The Circle is an epic tale of the future that all science fiction fans will enjoy.
