Synopsis "Death's End - The Three-Body Problem"

Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon – now a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.

Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay.

Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge and, with human science advancing and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations can co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But peace has made humanity complacent.

Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the 21st century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the start of the Trisolar Crisis, and her presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle?

Praise for The Three-Body Problem:

'Your next favourite sci-fi novel' Wired

'Immense' Barack Obama

'Unique' George R.R. Martin

'SF in the grand style' Guardian

'Mind-altering and immersive' Daily MailWinner of the Hugo and Galaxy Awards for Best Novel

A unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology - George R.R. Martin

Wildly imaginative, really interesting... The scope of it was immense - Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States

A milestone in Chinese science fiction - New York Times

Cixin Liu is the author of your next favourite sci-fi novel - Wired

China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke - The New Yorker

The Three Body epic concludes with sweep and scope and majesty, worthy of Frederik Pohl or Poul Anderson, Scholar Wu or H.G. Wells. The universe is likely to be a rough neighborhood. See just how rough... and how life might still prevail - David Brin

This is a series that I will always have on my book shelves because of the pleasure it gives to revisit it... Credit is also due to the translator, the extraordinary Ken Liu, for creating a read which enables all the high level concepts to weld with the ongoing epic story' - Strange Alliances

Complex and grandiose... this is a mind-altering and immersive experience' - Daily Mail

The grand scale continues in this third volume... There are many layers to this story, built up and woven together to form an extraordinarily grand tale of mankind's future. This volume brings the trilogy to a grand and satisfying conclusion' - SFCrowsnest

Cixin's trilogy is SF in the grand style, a galaxy-spanning, ideas-rich narrative of invasion and war between humanity and the alien 'Trisolarians' - Guardian

Even what doesn't happen is epic - London Review of Books

The narrative and conceptual momentum of the series takes off at a scale and velocity I couldn't possibly have imagined before reading. The Three-Body trilogy makes insignificance and unknowability and futility seem so spiritually exciting that I felt breathless. I'd join a book club that just discusses it every month for a year - New York Times

Cixin Liu is the most prolific and popular science fiction author of the People's Republic of China. Liu has been awarded the Galaxy Award eight times (the equivalent in his country to the Hugo Award) and the Chinese Nebula, before turning his "Three-Body Trilogy" into a work capable of selling a million copies just in China, arousing unanimous interest throughout the West, winning the 2015 Hugo Award for best novel, and earning endorsements from the likes of Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg

His huge success is now repeated in all international markets, thanks to fans of the genre, but also, and above all, to the millions of readers interested in current geopolitical affairs and in the past and future of China. They are all the ones who have managed to turn a perfect stranger, coming from the most mysterious and hermetic East, into one of the great literary sensations of recent years

Before becoming a writer, Liu worked as an engineer at a power plant in Yangquan, Shanxi province, now temporarily closed due to air pollution
