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. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent.
Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the early twenty-first century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings with her knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the beginning of the Trisolar Crisis, and her very presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle?
Review: I’m at a loss for words, not even sure where to begin. It’s just EPIC.
The end of The Dark Forest made me think that this series would go in a certain direction, but I was wrong; it’s actually so much more.
It is so different from its original roots that it is unrecognizable, but it is for the better; it explores amazing theories and concepts like time warping and multi-dimensional travel, and the plot is always spot-on.
Whenever I read this book, I get so into it that I once missed the metro stop because I was so focused.
Everything in the book felt like falling down a waterfall: it starts out smooth, but then you hit rocks that get harder and harder, and then you fall into emptiness and, in the ultimate end (or beginning), singularity.
WOW, what a great book! I loved reading it and would recommend it to anyone. This is the best sci-fi series I’ve ever read, and it’s going straight to my favorites list.
