"In The Dark Forest you will find a treasure trove of bold, fresh concepts.  Cixin Lui spins out their implications with skill, beauty, and relentless logic, portraying humanity at its best and worst.  The Three-Body Trilogy may be one of the greatest epics of twenty-first-century science fiction.  It will chill, stir, and inspire." -David Brin

The Three-Body Problem gave English-speaking readers their first taste of China's most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu, quickly gathering as much acclaim in the United States as it had in China.  The Three-Body Trilogy continues with the near-future speculative fiction masterpiece The Dark Forest

Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion - in four centuries time.  The Trisolarans' human collaborators have been defeated, but the aliens have seeded the earth with sophons, subatomic particles that allow them instant access to all human information, so Earth's defenses are totally exposed to the enemy.  Only the human mind remains opaque.

This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four people 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.

"Dazzling ideas and an unsettling, nonlinear, almost nonnarrative structure that demands patience but offers huge rewards.  Once again, a highly impressive must-read."  -Kirkus Reviews (starred review, Best of 2015)
