Publisher Description
Bloomsbury presents The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, read by Daniel York Loh.
Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon – soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.
1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind.
Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns.
This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.

Gain a whole new perspective on alien invasion when you listen to this Hugo Award–winning fantasy novel, the first in a trilogy that was later adapted into a 2024 streaming series. After a secret Chinese military project beams a message into space, things get weird: scientists begin killing themselves, a researcher keeps seeing a countdown everywhere he looks and a virtual reality game set on a world with three suns becomes increasingly popular. Although these spooky harbingers indicate that destructive aliens are on their way, some on Earth might welcome that outcome. Narrator Luke Daniels provides an entire cast of voices from around the planet—and off it, too. This is a fresh take on a common science fiction trope, as well as a meditation on the legacy of China’s Cultural Revolution.
