*The new paperback and e-book editions of SONS OF HEAVEN are now available. Click on the book jacket to the right for more information Cheng's highly acclaimed debut novel. The e-book is available for Kindle, Sony, Nook, and other devices. SONS OF HEAVEN is an epic novel set against the backdrop of one of modern history's most haunting events: the Tiananmen Square Massacre. In June 1989, the world watched in horror as China's military was mobilized to suppress a student movement that stood for peaceful democracy. Hundreds were killed; others say thousands. No one knows for sure.
But the image that remains most powerful is that of a lone young man, looking confused yet terribly brave, as he held his ground before a rolling line of tanks. Who was he, and why did he do what he did? No one has ever been able to determine his identity or fate. Within the pages of SONS OF HEAVEN, in a stunning blend of history and fiction, Terrence Cheng has vividly created a life for this young hero and given him a voice.
