Twelve-year-old Lin Xiaoxing presses the button on a quantum teleportation pod and, carrying her father's keepsake, transmigrates to a space city called the Mobius Ring.
She never could have imagined that her father's keepsake would turn out to be the key to unlocking an interstellar maze.
Deep in lunar orbit, the silver city shaped like a Mobius ring is crumbling. Out-of-control mechanical octopuses tear into abandoned submarines, an icebound alien computer hides an ancient code, and the helium-3 reactor that keeps the city running has only 12 hours left!
Here, on streets where weightlessness and gravity alternate, she will meet a Martian girl who can program with mycelium, a lunar boy who can take starships apart, and a robot named RC-07 who always speaks in the voice of a 20th-century radio announcer.
They must cross a land of freezing ice crystals, the jaws of deep-sea monsters, and a high-temperature nuclear fusion plant, then solve a life-or-death riddle in a starry library where ancient books float.
This time, humanity's future isn't on Earth, but on the Mobius ring whose ends meet. Are you ready for the first cosmic lesson that will turn everything you know upside down?
