The New York Times bestselling conclusion to the groundbreaking, Hugo Award-winning series from China's most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu.

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?

    I am not the same person after reading this series. 10/10 would always recommend.
  • I managed to get through this one

    but with difficulty. Lui is a sensational and talented author but the subject matter here is very heavy brain lifting. Only a medium headache and phew…made it through.
  • A complex and evolving story

    Well, not wanting to give away anything about these three books. They were very detailed and grounded in the science of physics and cosmology. The human stories involved almost seemed like a sub story to the overall evolution of the entire species. All I overall very much enjoyed them. I do believe it was a bit of a sociology lesson. I got out of this as well. Quite complex.

    This is as grand scale science fiction as ever done while keeping an elegant and captivating human touch.
  • Clever but translation hindered

    Wonderfully imagined, hard Sci-fi continuation of the saga. Unfortunately the English translation is cumbersome to the point of distraction. The 4/5 star rate was due to the translation combined with an ending that didn’t fully live up to the rest of the book.
  • Best sci-fi I’ve read

  • Really bad

    By Haggus00
    I can’t understand how anyone can give this a good rating. It is so bad. It makes no sense. The plot doesn’t advance and then suddenly it jumps ahead for no reason. The second book is even worse. Halfway though I just put it down. Don’t bother with this toilet paper.

    The best of the three
  • Entire series a must read

    By QuandriesResolved
    I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series and can comfortably recommend it as required reading for fans of high science fiction. If you have read Iain Banks then you will love this as well. Though captured in less theoretical detail, those who enjoy theorizing socio-political constructs of the future may also like this. My thanks to Cixin Liu for authoring such a great work.
  • Best sci-fi trilogy of all times

    I read the Chinese edition of all three books when they first came out a few years ago. The first two were amazing, and as I was reading Deaths end, I was in awe the whole time. I stayed up and finished the book in one night as I couldn't stop. I saw the grandest view of the universe beyond any imagination in this book. Now thanks to Ken Liu, the translator of the first and third books, and Joel Martinsen, the translator of the second, this trilogy has been brought to the English readers. I have the audible book of the first one, and now bought the third. I didn't read the second book in English so I cannot comment. But Mr Ken Liu did an excellent job translating the first and third books. In a sense, I liked the English version better than the Chinese version. Of course, big Liu (a fond nickname of Liu Cixin by the Chinese fans) has unparalleled imagination and extraordinary philosophical thought and this trilogy wouldn't exist if not for him, there's no doubt about it. But small Liu (a fond nickname for Ken Liu by the Chinese fans) exhibited skillful narration in translating the trilogy and I liked his style very much. All in all, big Liu is my favorite sci-fi writer at all times together with Issac Asimov.
