Publisher Description
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?

Customer Reviews
Mind numbing, but a difficult trilogy to read
The subject is mind blowing. The execution of the trilogy is a testament to the author and the subsequent translation team. Where I dropped the stars it was due to several criticisms. I could not read a lot before I had to stop. Yes, that is a “me” problem (to use the dialect of the young), but as a seasoned sci-fi and fantasy reader, I am usually able to read whole books in under a few days. This trilogy took me months!
