About this listen

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, and, with human science advancing and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations can coexist peacefully as equals, without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But peace has made humanity complacent.

Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the 21st century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the start of the Trisolar Crisis, and her presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle?

I Baut listen to this on the recommendation of a good friend who is a sci-fi expert, and I’ve not been disappointed after a slow, start the book wines and weaves multiple threads into a great crescendo into weaving scientific facts and physical constants with great theory based imaginative plot developments,enough to delight the scientific and engineering mind. Also dealing with great concepts of humanity, including game theory, personal freedoms Vos public stability and progress, zero sum threats and deterrents survival of species and races. It’s no wonder Netflix are making a series based on these books. I hope they do it justice.

A potent mix of idealism, technology, philosophy and physics. Having read/listened to this trilogy, I'm left with more questions than answers in regards to the future of life and the universe itself.

I didn't want it to end!
