About this product
Product Information
A Snake Lies Waiting is the next in Jin Yong's high stakes, tension-filled epic Legends of the Condor Heroes series, where kung fu is magic, kingdoms vie for power and the battle to become the ultimate kung fu master unfolds. Guo Jing has confronted Apothecary Huang, his sweetheart Lotus Huang's father, on Peach Blossom Island, and bested the villainous Gallant Ouyang in the three trials to win the hand of his beloved. But now, along with his two friends and shifus , Zhou Botong of the Quanzhen Sect, and Count Seven Hong, Chief of the Beggar Clan, he has walked into another trap. Tricked into boarding a unseaworthy barge by Apothecary Huang, the three friends will surely drown unless Lotus--who has overheard her father's plans--can find a way to save them. Yet even if they are to survive the voyage, great dangers lie in wait on the mainland. Viper Ouyang, the gallant's uncle and one of the Five Greats of the martial world, is determined to have his revenge on Guo Jing for getting the better of his nephew, and bent on becoming the most powerful master of the wulin . Meanwhile, Yang Kang, who Guo Jing has come to trust, has yet to reveal the full extent of his treachery.

Reviews
Praise for LEGENDS OF THE CONDOR HEROES: "A delightful entertainment." - Kirkus on A Bond Undone "Jin Yong''s work is undoubtedly worth reading." - Publisher''s Weekly "Fans of sword-and-sorcery fantasy and historical fiction alike will enjoy this hard-hitting yarn." - Kirkus "Filled to the brim with characters and action, this translation will allow English-speaking readers to finally enjoy a classic of the wuxia fantasy genre, and hopefully whet their appetites for more." - Booklist "Pick [A Hero Born] up as soon as you can and check out its majesty for yourself." - SyFy Wire, 10 SFF Books You Shouldn''t Miss This September "Full of noble heroes and pitched battles, Cha''s stories were epic, featuring not just fantastical kung fu swordsmen who can fly and walk on water, but also complex characters and plots woven into dramatic historical events." - CNN "Widely known by his pen name, Jin Yong, his work, in the Chinese-speaking world, has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of ''Harry Potter'' and ''Star Wars'' combined." - The New Yorker "[A Hero Born is] actually one of the most famous works by author Louis Cha (commonly known as Jin Yong), a Hong Kong writer beloved across the Chinese-speaking world." - NPR "...his works were loved by generations - both in China and worldwide." - BBC "The Hong Kong writer, Louis Cha, writing under the pen name Jin Yong from the mid-1950s through the rise of a movie star named Bruce Lee, created what have become the world''s greatest and most beloved martial arts novels. When he passed in 2018, he left behind epic stories of betrayal and honor, intrigue and amour, slashing blades and flashing fists, and a dazzling parade of indelible characters that hundreds of millions of readers have come to love. The arrival of the U.S. edition of The Legends of the Condor Heroes is a major event. Welcome to the world of Jin Yong. Once you''ve entered, you may never want to leave." -- Jeff Chang, American Book Award Winner and author of Can''t Stop Won''t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation "A Chinese Lord of the Rings." - Irish Times "The world''s biggest kung fu fantasy writer." - The Guardian "In Anna Holmwood''s spirited translation, this action-packed and ideas-laden saga is as revealing of modern as of ancient China." - economist.com "...the novel makes use of hundreds of characters to create an epic world of martial arts and entangled human stories, not just about familial bonds and romance, but also brotherhood and patriotism." - Global Times " A Hero Born reads like...an early legend, such as the Death of King Arthur ." - GeekDad " A Hero Born is a stirring epic, full of gravity-defying kung fu, treachery, loyalty and love." - The Times "The plot includes betrayal and allegiance in different martial arts schools, and the rise and fall of dynasties." - Telegraph UK "...[Jin Yong''s novels have] become a touchstone for generations of readers, and an influence on authors such as Ken Liu." - The Verge "The world imagined by Chinese writer Jin Yong is one which celebrates loyalty, courage, and the triumph of the individual over a corrupt and authoritarian state - carried out by no less than heroes who fly through trees and deliver deadly blows to their enemies with a single finger." - Quartzy.com "You''ll be rooting for the heroes to the end." - SFX Magazine , 4 starred review "Cha...created an imaginary world in his 15 novels - one featuring martial arts, poetry and plots with deep roots in Chinese history, culture and beliefs." - South China Morning Post "Prepare to be swept along as our champion gallops towards his nemesis and destiny." - Daily Mail "Jin Yong''s stories have been passed down in the East from generation to generation and thus nurture people of all ages." - Yan Lianke, Man International Booker-shortlisted author
