Every great book begins with an idea, but every memorable reading journey begins with the opportunity to discover it. That is exactly what makes the Hong Kong Book Fair 2026 such a remarkable event. Bringing together readers, authors, publishers, educators, and literary professionals from around the world, the fair has become one of Asia’s premier celebrations of literature and publishing. More than an exhibition of books, it is a place where stories cross borders, ideas spark meaningful conversations, and new voices find readers eager to turn the very first page.
Organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), this year’s fair takes place from July 15–21, 2026, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) under the inspiring theme, “Cultural Legacy | Joyful Journeys.” Alongside an impressive lineup of internationally renowned authors, cultural seminars, exhibitions, and interactive programs, the event continues to promote reading as a gateway to discovering different cultures and perspectives.
As the publishing industry continues to evolve, international book fairs remain essential spaces where creativity and collaboration meet. They provide authors with opportunities to introduce their work to wider audiences, while giving readers access to an extraordinary range of books that reflect diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences. Whether you’re searching for an inspiring memoir, a compelling novel, an educational resource, or a beautifully illustrated children’s book, the Hong Kong Book Fair offers countless opportunities to discover stories that inform, entertain, and inspire.
For Citi of Books, participating in the Hong Kong Book Fair is more than showcasing publications on an international stage. It reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting authors throughout their publishing journey and connecting their work with readers across the globe. Every title displayed at our exhibit represents countless hours of creativity, dedication, and passion. We believe every author has a story worth sharing, and every reader deserves the opportunity to discover a book that leaves a lasting impression.
Among the titles proudly featured by Citi of Books this year is “Tranquility Moon: Where Violence Has No Voice” by Tom Skore. This remarkable work exemplifies the diversity of voices that define our growing collection, offering readers a unique perspective through engaging storytelling, thoughtful insights, and a message that resonates beyond its final chapter. We are delighted to introduce this title to the international audience attending the Hong Kong Book Fair and invite visitors to experience the author’s work firsthand.
“Tranquility Moon: Where Violence Has No Voice” is a stunning blend of science fiction, social reflection, and heartfelt family drama. The story begins with Rianne, a bright ten-year-old whose father, Paul, is aboard the International Space Station for a record-breaking mission. When Rianne witnesses a school shooting near her home, she turns to her telescope for comfort—and accidentally captures something impossible: a strange light moving across the Moon’s surface. Her discovery sets off a chain of events that reach from her small backyard to the highest levels of space exploration—and possibly, far beyond humanity’s understanding.
As Paul investigates his daughter’s mysterious video from orbit, strange things begin to unfold—objects appear near the Moon, communication becomes cryptic, and soon Paul encounters an otherworldly intelligence that challenges everything he knows about life and purpose. While most sci-fi stories chase fear or conquest, this book seeks understanding. It dares to imagine what might happen if an advanced species, one untouched by violence, reached out not to dominate us—but to teach us peace. That concept alone sets this book apart in a genre often obsessed with war and apocalypse.
Tom Skore’s “Tranquility Moon” isn’t just a sci-fi adventure—it’s a mirror held up to our society. It asks hard questions about why we hurt each other, and whether our greatest evolution might be emotional, not technological. It’s for readers who love Contact, Interstellar, or Arrival, but crave something with more heart and hope. By the time you turn the last page, you won’t just be looking up at the Moon—you’ll be wondering if somewhere in that vast silence, someone is looking back and waiting for us to finally quiet our wars and listen.
As thousands of readers make their way through the exhibition halls this year, we warmly invite you to visit the Citi of Books exhibit and explore the many stories waiting to be discovered. Whether you are looking for your next unforgettable read, searching for fresh literary voices, or simply celebrating the joy of books, we look forward to welcoming you and sharing the stories that continue to connect readers around the world.
