Liu Cixin's fascinating novel deserves a wide audience in the West. --Eric Choi, Aurora Award-winning co-editor of The Dragon and the Stars The Three-Body Problem is a first for North American readers: a science fiction novel that gets into the hearts and minds of people in the most tumultuous period of Communist China's history. Liu Cixin gives us a rare view of the Bamboo Curtain of the 1960's and combines it with a mysterious conspiracy in present-day Earth. The result is a story where each answer creates more questions. --Derwin Mak, co-editor of The Dragon and the Stars and author of The Moon Under Her Feet and The Shrine of the Siren Stone

        Uh see above

        Read the trilogy. It ranges from very inventive hard sci fi to rather thrilling plot twists to a poetic Chinese and East Asian cultural sensibility. Oh - quick delivery, perfect new cond.

        Difficult read, but a great story. Get all three books!

        There is some very technical science in this book which makes it a bit iof a struggle to get past. But the effort is worth it!

        Awesome

        Great book with interesting story. It gives me a lot of information to further explore. It seems to be a little different to the Netflix series but still good. I look forward to the rest of the books.
