The British contemporary atypical science fiction novel, the cosmic version of "Heart of Darkness", describes Peter accepting a mission to temporarily say goodbye to his beloved wife, and go to the "oasis", an alien settlement just developed by mankind, to explore the unfathomable universe. He will experience a strange and shocking exploration. At this time, natural disasters occurred in many places on the earth, and social and people's livelihoods were in turmoil. What separates the two is no longer just the vast universe, they will face an unprecedented severe test... What is the real motivation of the Oasis Project? How will Peter find love and connection? The direction of "The Book of Strange Lands" is completely unexpected. It explores human civilization and beliefs in a fascinating and profound way, taking into account exploration and belonging, and questioning the meaning of love before death. The cold text, absurd details, and weird and desolate atmosphere strangely penetrate the warmth of emotion and humanity. It is a heavyweight masterpiece with amazing imagination and opening up the horizon of the universe.
