“The War of the Worlds for the 21st century...packed with a sense of wonder.” (Wall Street Journal)

The New York Times best-selling conclusion to a tour de force near-future adventure trilogy from China's best-selling and beloved science fiction writer.

With The Three-Body Problem, English-speaking listeners got their first chance to hear China's most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu. The Three-Body Problem was released to great acclaim including coverage in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and reading list picks by Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg. It was also won the Hugo and Nebula Awards, making it the first translated novel to win a major SF award.

Now this epic trilogy concludes with 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?

The best Sci Fi writer of this generation

Where does Death's End rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Liu (with spendid translation services from K Liu) has produced a new masterwork of science fiction in the Three Body Trilogy. Genuinely thought provoking and epic in scope without falling for tiresome space opera tropes. A rare find.

Important series!

The Chinese writing style skips around a bit but stay with it, it all come together and is sooo worth it. Lots of hard science theory. Great visual descriptions. Fun characters. Admirable relationships that really describe value. So much science! Really finished the series well

So sad I’m finished

I love sci-fi and after a second shot at this trilogy, I’ve finished. If you’ve ever felt profoundly sad you’re leaving characters, you’ll know what I’m feeling. This was an amazing journey and one I’ll come back to again.

Top shelf scifi

Unimaginably creative and epic in scope. The best book in an amazing series. On the short list of my all time favorite books.

You Get Your Money's Worth

if you ever wished a book would go on forever, you get your wish with this one. Not nearly as good as The Dark Forest, but satisfying conclusion because you get so much of it. Whole thing kind of goes up in a puff of smoke though. Still, if you've invested in the other two superior books, pull up to the table and prepare to be stuffed.
REVISED 3/5/19 What was I thinking? After re-listening to all three, I now think this is the most satisfying. Absorbed much more of the details and science. Absolutely heartbroken when it came to its perfect end. Please, Cixin Liu, more....

An Epic Novel

Last of 3 in this series which, as a whole, spans the entire beginning to end of what the imagination can concieve.

Worthy Successor

This is the conclusion to the Three Body Problem trilogy. It's a worthy successor with a bit less suspense - a bit more predictable, but still quite good. Some of the plot twists seemed.... arbitrary? But still quite an impressive piece of work with a very Chinese perspective on strategy, culture, and cosmology.

original sci fi

great story. very original and thought provoking. would highly recommend, and I will listen again.

Best of the series

So incredibly smart and full of feeling, the third book captures the best and worst of humanity with little judgement

Most Imaginative SyFy

This story is incredible. New ideas are continually added even when you think the events are winding down. It is a Must Read for all syfy fans!
