Overview

This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author.

In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

  • Not as good as #1, but strong

    Britt K. - 5 years ago

    Deeply science-intensive sequel, with some bits of striking humanity, strategy, and science fiction folded in.

  • Sci-fi psychohistory

    John S. - 5 years 9 months ago

    Very cool concept that makes you think. Not as fast-paced as the first in the series, but has enough intellectual nuggets to keep the reader engaged. Reminded me a lot of Asimov's "psychohistory" in its approach to human behavior. Fun read. #SummerReading
