With
The Three-Body Problem, English-speaking readers got

and bestselling Three-Body Trilogy by China's most beloved
science fiction author, Cixin Liu.
Three-Body was released to great acclaim including

The New York Times and

finalist for the Nebula Award, making it the first translated
novel to be nominated for a major SF award since Italo
Calvino's
Invisible Cities in 1976. Now this epic trilogy concludes with the
New York Times bestelling
Death's End. 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. With
human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting
Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon
be able to co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible
threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has
also made humanity complacent. 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? 2017 Locus Award
