This discounted ebundle includes: The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, Deaths End "Wildly imaginative, really interesting." President Barack Obama The Three-Body trilogy by New York Times bestseller Cixin Liu keeps you riveted with high-octane action, political intrigue, and unexpected twists in this saga of first contact with the extraterrestrial Trisolaris. The Three-Body Problem An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The Dark Forest In The Dark Forest, 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 remains. Humanity responds with 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. Deaths End Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the early 21st 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'm calling it...This trilogy went from eerily fascinating to a messy plot, half-assed characterizations and some unfortunate gender stereotypes that I think look particularly bad to me after reading the amazing Nnedi Okorafor. Ah well...next!

Redjewel_7734 I love the first book in the trilogy but have been hesitant in continuing, though I do have all the books in it; I've always been worried if it could continue to hold up 😔Maybe one of these days I'll give it a chance. 7y

Reading this trilogy has begun to feel a little masochistic. I loved the first book, but he second book feels like it was written by a completely different person. I know technically it is written by a different person because it is a different translator, but the whole construction of the plot just feels so forced in comparison. I haven't given up yet!

Still working my way through this trilogy. So far it's been wonderful, confusing and strange. I love the balance between misanthropy and hope for humanity.

Laura317 I'm about a quarter through the first book. I feel a bit over my head, but in a good way. You know? 7y
thewanderingbookmark @Laura317 I know! There are definitely some parts I have to re-read, but it's sufficiently eerie to keep me hooked. 7y

"Is it possible that the relationship between humanity and evil is similar to the relationship between the ocean and an iceberg floating on its surface? Both the ocean and the iceberg are made of the same material."

Linear Food for thought no doubt. 7y
