Bloomsbury presents The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu, read by Daniel York Loh.

Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon – soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.

Imagine the universe as a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, stealth is survival – any civilisation that reveals its location is prey.

Earth has. Now the predators are coming.

Crossing light years, the Trisolarians will reach Earth in four centuries' time. But the sophons, their extra-dimensional agents and saboteurs, are already here. Only the individual human mind remains immune to their influence.

This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a last-ditch defence that grants four individuals almost absolute power to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from human and alien alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown.

Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

Commentaires

A unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology (George R.R. Martin)
Wildly imaginative, really interesting... The scope of it was immense (Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States)
A milestone in Chinese science fiction
Cixin Liu is the author of your next favourite sci-fi novel
China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke
The Three Body epic concludes with sweep and scope and majesty, worthy of Frederik Pohl or Poul Anderson, Scholar Wu or H.G. Wells. The universe is likely to be a rough neighborhood. See just how rough... and how life might still prevail (David Brin)
This is a series that I will always have on my book shelves because of the pleasure it gives to revisit it... Credit is also due to the translator, the extraordinary Ken Liu, for creating a read which enables all the high level concepts to weld with the ongoing epic story'
Complex and grandiose... this is a mind-altering and immersive experience'
The grand scale continues in this third volume... There are many layers to this story, built up and woven together to form an extraordinarily grand tale of mankind's future. This volume brings the trilogy to a grand and satisfying conclusion'
Cixin's trilogy is SF in the grand style, a galaxy-spanning, ideas-rich narrative of invasion and war between humanity and the alien 'Trisolarians'
Even what doesn't happen is epic
The narrative and conceptual momentum of the series takes off at a scale and velocity I couldn't possibly have imagined before reading. The Three-Body trilogy makes insignificance and unknowability and futility seem so spiritually exciting that I felt breathless. I'd join a book club that just discusses it every month for a year
Tout
Le plus pertinent
400 ans plus ou moins, c’est ce qu’il reste à l’humanité avant son oblitération par une civilisation supérieure. Progression technologique humaine bloquée par les « sophons » des tri solariens. Espionnage de toute les communications, rien n’est privé à part nos pensées propres. Pas gagné gagné…

Super histoire

Although this series uses more scientific jargon than other sci-fi novels which can be daunting at first, the story line is easily followed and leaves you guessing of what will happen next. The narrator is also really good although some of his accents are somewhat odd at times. He has great intonation and produces very well made onomatopoeia (such as smoking etc).

Amazing book and series
