Product Description

Review

‘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.

‘A marvellous mélange of awe-inspiring scientific concepts, clever plotting and quirky yet plausible characters, all conveyed in in a plain style capable of signalling hidden depths’ The Times.

‘The best kind of science fiction’ Kim Stanley Robinson.

‘Vivid, imaginative and rooted in cutting-edge science … Cixin stands at the top tier of speculative fiction in any language’ David Brin.

‘Full of surprises and wondrous ideas … The depth of feeling here is extraordinary. Emotion and science brilliantly co-exist. To call the vision grand and ambitious seems a ridiculous understatement … I await the conclusion, Death’s End, in the spring with enormous anticipation. I have no doubt that when this trilogy is complete we will have a masterpiece on our hands’ For Winters Nights.

‘Hauntingly gentle in its delivery and gorgeous in its own wondrous atmosphere, The Dark Forest is a quiet slice of lovely science fiction … it’s bursting with character and ingenuity’ Starburst magazine.

‘Chinese SF has been neglected in the wider world for far too long’ Interzone.

‘A breakthrough book … a unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology, where kings and emperors from both western and Chinese history mingle in a dreamlike game world, while cops and physicists deal with global conspiracies, murders, and alien invasions in the real world’ George RR Martin.

‘[The Three-Body Problem and The Dark Forest are] the works of fiction I am most enthusiastic about’ Bloomberg.

Book Description

The universe is a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, others are hell, a dire existential threat. Stealth is survival. Any civilisation that reveals its location is prey. Earth has. And the others are on the way.
