Summary
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。

Le récit est un peu moins intéressant que le précédant mais demeure tout de même fascinant par sa complexité et le processus mathématique astucieux qu’il présente。 Le dessin est encore une fois excellent。 Le récit reprend également une idée présentée dans le premier volume du roman Le Problème à trois corps。 Comme il s’agit d’une uchronie， on peut se demander sur laquelle des trois Terres se déroule cette fresque historique… Cela demeure divertissant et une très bonne lecture。Lire mon commentair Le récit est un peu moins intéressant que le précédant mais demeure tout de même fascinant par sa complexité et le processus mathématique astucieux qu’il présente。 Le dessin est encore une fois excellent。 Le récit reprend également une idée présentée dans le premier volume du roman Le Problème à trois corps。 Comme il s’agit d’une uchronie， on peut se demander sur laquelle des trois Terres se déroule cette fresque historique… Cela demeure divertissant et une très bonne lecture。Lire mon commentaire complet sur http://clodjee-blog。com/2022/12/26/le。。。 。。。more

Seemingly the most challenging Liu short story to adapt from prose of those that I've read this still managed to be engaging and interesting， filled with heady ideas and beautiful illustrations。 Seemingly the most challenging Liu short story to adapt from prose of those that I've read this still managed to be engaging and interesting， filled with heady ideas and beautiful illustrations。 。。。more

Great story， it adapts the idea （view spoiler）[of the human computer （hide spoiler）] from The Three-Body Problem:The art work is not that eloquent on ocasion， but overall it's a great adaptation of the story， which can be read in original in Invisible Planets: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation anthology。["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> Great story， it adapts the idea （view spoiler）[of the human computer （hide spoiler）] from The Three-Body Problem:The art work is not that eloquent on ocasion， but overall it's a great adaptation of the story， which can be read in original in Invisible Planets: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation anthology。["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Brilliant！ 4。5 stars！！After reading The Devourer， I was not expecting the setting of this one at all。 A King using his 3 million strong dynasty era army to create a computer and try to calculate Pi so as to become immortal。 What a mad idea！ So good。
