    1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind. Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredicatable interaction of its three suns. This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.

    Soon to be a Netflix Original Series! "Wildly imaginative." —President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy 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.

    Příběh ze světa bestsellerové trilogie Vzpomínka na Zemi Pao-šu s požehnáním autora oceňované sci-fi ságy Liou Cch’-sina rozvíjí zápletku konfliktu mezi lidstvem a Trisolarany, jakož i původ a důsledky principu temného lesa. Jün Tchien-ming se ocitl v přední linii mezihvězdné války: muž, který chtěl kvůli smrtelné rakovině podstoupit eutanazii, byl v podobě holého mozku vyslán do vesmíru s úkolem infiltrovat trisolaranskou První flotilu. Mimozemšťané jej zajali a dlouhá desetiletí podrobovali nelidskému mučení. Tchien-ming nakonec podlehl a svým věznitelům pomohl s obsazením Země, aby zabránil úplnému vyhlazení lidstva. Trisolarané mu vyrobili nové naklonované tělo a Tchien-ming žil dlouho v exilu coby zrádce lidské rasy. Nyní se však na sklonku života dočká druhého vzkříšení. Bytost, jež si říká Duch, jej naverbuje do bitvy proti nepříteli, který usiluje o zkázu celého vesmíru. Tchien-ming však nechce být znovu loutkou. Tentokrát se bude řídit jen vlastním úsudkem.

    On his fourteenth birthday, right before his eyes, Chen's parents are incinerated by a blast of ball lightning. Striving to make sense of this bizarre tragedy, he dedicates his life to a single goal: to unlock the secrets of this enigmatic natural phenomenon. His pursuit of ball lightning will take him far from home, across mountain peaks chasing storms and deep into highly classified subterranean laboratories as he slowly unveils a new frontier in particle physics. Chen's obsession gives purpose to his lonely life, but it can't insulate him from the real world's interest in his discoveries. He will be pitted against scientists, soldiers and governments with motives of their own: a physicist who has no place for moral judgement in his pursuit of knowledge; a beautiful army major obsessed with new ways to wage war; and a desperate nation facing certain military defeat.
