Ten Lives in Space is a historical novel spanning multiple eras, with transmigration at its heart. It tells the story of astronaut Teng Jiu, who is struck by a mysterious signal in space and sleepwalks for ten days, traveling into his past lives. He experiences life as a tyrant, a warlord, an aged minister, a brilliant general, a revered monk, a turncoat official, a literary great, a petty clerk, a merchant magnate, and a fortune-teller.
The main character is a composite drawn from three or four historical figures of each type. The story follows the sweeping highs and lows of his life, the great questions of right and wrong, and the tangled web of love and hate. Three or four closely connected characters are woven into his story, with multiple plotlines interlocking throughout.
This novel is rich in storytelling, knowledge, historical atmosphere, and the sense of transmigration. It is profound in thought, masterful in style, and highly readable.
Each life unfolds as a novel of about 100,000 characters, with each volume largely independent. Astronaut Teng Jiu's spirit is free and can be anywhere.
A work by a manly man.
