About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Death's End 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.
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 co-exist 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?

Critic reviews

'A breakthrough book...a unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology, where kings and emperors from both western and Chinese history mingle in a dreamlike game world, while cops and physicists deal with global conspiracies, murders, and alien invasions in the real world.' (George R.R. Martin)

Throughly enjoyed the entire series. A beautiful love story through space and time to the end of the universe.

Beautifully imaginative

I give up on the first Three Body Problem book the first time round and there is issues with pacing and excess detail but second time round, I got through it and the world building pays of. The Dark Forest builds up the tension and character development. And this book is sheer brilliance. Science, character and imagination blend superbly. If you like the writing style, stick with it!

Epic Finish

Awesome narration, powerful story, incredibly accurate snapshot of human nature over millennia in the cold, harsh reality of the universe.

Brilliant from start to finish
