From Cixin Liu, the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author of The Three Body Problem, comes a new science fiction masterpiece in Supernova Era.
In those days, Earth was a planet in space. In those days, Beijing was a city on Earth. On this night, history as known to humanity came to an end. Eight light years away, a star has died, creating a supernova event that showers Earth in deadly levels of radiation. Within a year, everyone over the age of thirteen will die. And so the countdown begins. Parents apprentice their children and try to pass on the knowledge they'll need to keep the world running. But the last generation may not want to carry the legacy of their parents' world. And though they imagine a better, brighter world, they may bring about a future so dark humanity won't survive.©2004 Liu Cixin (P)2019 Head of Zeus Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Fiction China Astronomy Imperial Japan Russia

I've read a tonne of Warhammer 40k books, but this book...this book disturbed me immensely, especially the Antarctic War. Very different to what and how Liu Cixin usually writes, I was expecting more longer time skips. Still glad I listened to this. As a teacher I feel kids may actually be able to do as such once unchained from parental guidance, as crazy as it seems.

Disturbing but glad I finished it

I wanted to love this but it was a hard listen. The concept was good but in the end I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

A tough read

Some parts were good, certainly the first half and perhaps original ideas but as it progressed it was more like throwing some ideas together that were not logical or possible.

Interesting but struggling storyline
