LOCUS AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST ANTHOLOGY
Sixteen short stories from China's groundbreaking science fiction writers, edited and translated by award-winning author Ken Liu. In Hugo award-winner Liu Cixin's 'Moonlight, ' a man is contacted by three future versions of himself, each trying to save their world from destruction. Hao Jingfang's 'The New Year Train' sees 1,500 passengers go missing on a train that vanishes into space. In the title story by Tang Fei, a young girl is shown how the stars can reveal the future. In addition, three essays explore the history and rise of Chinese science fiction publishing, contemporary Chinese fandom, and how the growing interest in Chinese SF has impacted writers who had long laboured in obscurity. By turns dazzling, melancholy and thought-provoking, Broken Stars celebrates the vibrancy and diversity of SFF voices emerging from China. Stories include:"Goodnight, Melancholy" by Xia Jia

Very Disappointing
Color: Classic, Size: S 3.14 in (8 cm)
The ball is a hard plastic; not flexible at all and uncomfortable for my dog to pick up. It makes NO NOISE while rolling across the floor. I bought it for my newly blind dog because other dog owners said their blind dogs can track the squeaky noise and follow the ball. How... when it doesn't make the noise it's supposed to? It works only if I shake it, totally defeating the purpose.
It would be difficult for my dog to chew on the hard plastic, so durability seems pretty good. It's also a nice looking toy, and I think it's safe, as there are no loose parts and the squeaker would be difficult to get to for most dogs.
My dog WANTS to enjoy it, but she can't.

Picky dog approved!
Color: S6-muti-color, Color: S6-muti-color
I have wasted so much money on dog balls that they won't even pick up! They finally were obsessed with the Kong rubber green/blue or red/blue ones, but they're $3+. each, and they break from the dogs squishing it. I honestly had zero expectations on these, and they BOTH picked them up on the first throw! That's huge!!
Seem to work fine in the ChuckIt.
As for the squeaker, at first I was like "Oh nooooo." when they both loudly started! Much to my (and my neighbors') happiness, the squeakers stopped working after a couple minutes. π€£
