All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer, is baffled by his new status. This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. 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. Only the individual human mind remains immune to their influence. But the sophons, their extra-dimensional agents and saboteurs, are already here. Crossing light years, the Trisolarians will reach Earth in four centuries' time. In this forest, stealth is survival - any civilisation that reveals its location is prey. Imagine the universe as a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. 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.
