About this ebook
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:

'Unique' George R.R. Martin

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

I cannot confirm that this part of the trilogy is worse than the others. While there are some plot decisions made that could be interpreted by polarized minds to be politically motivated, this book, as well as the whole trilogy, contains a wealth of technical and strategic ideas usually only found in high-quality hard science fiction works. Highly recommended.

While I struggled to visualize some of this story (4 dimensions, 3 dimensions collapsing into 2 etc) it was a fascinating read. The ending was an emotional rollercoaster, could not predict what was going to happen at all. A real great read

A serious disappointment after the 1st 2 books, it should have ended with Dark Forest.
