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?

Ended with "huh"

I really enjoyed the performance and translation. Felt different, throughout the series, than have-a-usual-space-opera.
However, I was expecting much more. Ending seemed rushed and put together with what and how seemed easiest, backed with few scientific theories. The biggest question for me while reading all three books was "how is he going to pull it?". And Liu left me hanging.

Bruno's absolutely magnificent performance made this book fantastic for me as he really set the atmosphere so well!

Fairy tales

Fairy tales written by a scifi author are quite dull. Otherwise good book. Bit heavy to get through.

Truly mind blowing

Rarely do you find a book that takes it's time and subtly exports your mind and imagination away from the here and now into the infinite.
The entire series is a masterpiece but this book ties it all up very nicely.

Amazing, well thought out science fiction.

When I started the series I thought book one was a tad slow.. Man has that been turned around. What a brilliant, massive expansive world he has created in this book series. Wrapping it up in a satisfying conclusion.

The best sci-fi saga

I don't have anything to say.
Everyone who loves sci-fi and is excited about theoretical physics, universe and other dimensions should read this.
