Mutually assured destruction has led to decades of peace between humanity and the Trisolarans, but a new force is awakening and this delicate balance can no longer hold... 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 twenty-first 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? Death''s End is the New York Times bestselling conclusion to Cixin Liu''s tour-de-force series that began with The Three-Body Problem.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Three-Body Trilogy, Cixin Liu''s Ball Lightning is the story of what happens when the beauty of scientific inquiry runs up against the drive to harness new discoveries with no consideration of their possible consequences. When Chen’s parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of this mysterious natural phenomenon. His search takes him to stormy mountaintops, an experimental military weapons lab, and an old Soviet science station. The more he learns, the more he comes to realize that ball lightning is just the tip of an entirely new frontier. While Chen’s quest for answers gives purpose to his lonely life, it also pits him against soldiers and scientists with motives of their own: a beautiful army major with an obsession with dangerous weaponry, and a physicist who has no place for ethical considerations in his single-minded pursuit of knowledge.

From science fiction legend Cixin Liu, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Three-Body Problem, comes a vision of the future that reads “like Ursula K Le Guin rewriting The Lord of the Flies for the quantum age.” (NPR). In those days, Earth was a planet in space. In those days, Beijing was a city on Earth. On this night, history as known to humanity came to an end. Eight light years away, a star has died, creating a supernova event that showers Earth in deadly levels of radiation. Within a year, everyone over the age of thirteen will die. And so the countdown begins. Parents apprentice their children and try to pass on the knowledge needed to keep the world running. But when the world is theirs, the last generation may not want to continue the legacy left to them. And in shaping the future however they want, will the children usher in an era of bright beginnings or final mistakes?

En utomjordisk civilisation på randen av förstörelse fångar signalen och planerar att invadera jorden. Under tiden, på jorden, börjar olika läger bildas, som planerar att antingen välkomna de överlägsna varelserna och hjälpa dem att ta över en värld som ses som korrupt, eller att kämpa mot invasionen. Resultatet är ett science fiction-mästerverk av enorm omfattning och vision.

The victor plans to perform the full-scale extermination of any low-intelligence lifeforms that remain in what is now his solar system. In order to gauge the intelligence of a planet, the victor devises a test – posed to a group of lifeforms selected at random by a computer – of science and mathematics. On a green-and-blue planet nestled in a spiral arm of the Milky Way, the computer''s selection falls to a group of children, in the depths of mountains shrouded with ignorance and superstition...

A satirical fable, a political allegory and an ecological warning from the author of The Three-Body Problem. On an otherwise ordinary day in the late Cretaceous, the seeds of Earth''s first and greatest civilization were sown in the grisly aftermath of a Tyrannosaurus'' lunch. From humble tooth-picking origins, ants and dinosaurs – two species so unalike and yet so complementary – forged an alliance that culminated in an antimatter-powered Age of Wonder. But such magnificent industry came at a price – a price paid first by Earth''s biosphere, and then by all those dependent on it. And yet the dinosaurs refused to heed all warning of impending ecological collapse, leaving the ants facing a single dilemma: destroy their allies... or perish alongside them?

En pleine Révolution culturelle, le pouvoir chinois construit la base militaire secrète de Côte Rouge, destinée à développer une arme de grand calibre. Ye Wenjie, une jeune astrophysicienne en cours de “rééducation”, intègre l’équipe de recherche. Dans ce lieu isolé où elle croit devoir passer le restant de sa vie, elle est amenée à travailler sur un système de télétransmissions dirigé vers l’espace et découvre peu à peu la véritable mission de Côte Rouge... Trente-huit ans plus tard, alors qu’une étrange vague de suicides frappe la communauté scientifique internationale, l’éminent chercheur en nanotechnologies Wang Miao est témoin de phénomènes paranormaux qui bouleversent ses convictions d’homme rationnel. Parmi eux, une inexplicable suite de nombres qui défile sur sa rétine, tel un angoissant compte à rebours... Hugo 2015 du meilleur roman, «Le Problème à trois corps» est le premier volume d’une trilogie culte d’une ambition folle.

Un demi-siècle après l’Ultime Bataille, l’équilibre précaire dû à la dissuasion de la forêt sombre continue de maintenir les envahisseurs trisolariens à distance. La Terre jouit d’une prospérité sans précédent due au transfert des connaissances et des technologies trisolariennes. La science humaine connaît des progrès pour ainsi dire quotidiens, les Trisolariens découvrent avec fascination la culture humaine et l’espoir grandit que les deux civilisations puissent bientôt coexister pacifiquement sans la terrible menace d’une annihilation réciproque. Mais lorsqu’une ingénieure en aéronautique originaire du début du XXIe siècle sort de son hibernation, elle réveille avec elle le souvenir d’un programme qui menace cet équilibre. Bientôt, l’humanité aura à faire un choix : partir à la conquête d’autres univers ou mourir dans son berceau. Après Le Problème à trois corps et La Forêt sombre, Liu Cixin referme l’un des cycles de science-fiction les plus ambitieux de ce siècle.

L''humanité sait qu''il lui reste quatre siècles avant que la flotte trisolarienne n''envahisse le système solaire. Les sciences fondamentales se retrouvant verrouillées par les intellectrons, la Terre doit se préparer du mieux qu’elle peut. Le Conseil de Défense Planétaire lance un nouveau projet : le programme « Colmateur », qui consiste à faire appel à quatre individus chargés d''envisager des stratégies secrètes pour contrer l’invasion ennemie. Car s’ils peuvent espionner toutes les conversations et tous les ordinateurs humains grâce aux intellectrons, les Trisolariens sont en revanche incapables de lire dans leurs pensées. Après Le Problème à trois corps, Liu Cixin revient avec une suite magistrale et haletante.

La nueva novela del autor chino que arrasa en todo el mundo con El problema de los tres cuerpos: 5.000.000 de lectores. El día en que cumple catorce años, Chen presencia cómo una esfera luminosa entra en su casa y calcina a sus padres. Con el propósito de encontrar algún sentido a esta extraña desgracia, decide dedicarse a descifrar el secreto del misterioso fenómeno a causa del cual quedó huérfano. La búsqueda de la esfera luminosa lo llevará lejos de casa, a perseguir tormentas en las cimas de montañas y a adentrarse en laboratorios subterráneos secretos para, poco a poco, ir descubriendo nuevos límites en la física de partículas. Aunque la obsesión de Chen es la razón de que la suya sea una vida solitaria, esta no podrá protegerle de los intereses globales que hay detrás de sus descubrimientos. Así pues, tendrá que enfrentarse a un físico que no entiende de límites morales en lo que al conocimiento se refiere; una atractiva militar obsesionada con nuevas técnicas bélicas; a una nación entera, en suma, desesperada por hacer frente a una derrota militar inevitable... Invocando nuevos mundos cosmológicos y filosóficos a partir de una minuciosa especulación científica, La esfera luminosa tiene todo aquello que hizo que los lectores de Cixin Liu disfrutaran tanto con El problema de los tres cuerpos. La crítica ha dicho: «Los lectores interesados en la ciencia más avanzada y ligeramente especulativa y en la filosofía de la ética científica querrán leer esta magnífica novela.» Publishers Weekly « La esfera luminosa muestra los peligros inherentes al desarrollo experimental de armas y, en última instancia, tiene todos los elementos que hicieron que, con El problema de los tres cuerpos, Liu Cixin irrumpiera con fuerza en la escena mundial de la ciencia ficción.» The Verge «Sorprendente y fascinante por igual (aunque no por los motivos habituales).» Kirkus Reviews

El Sol está muriendo y la única opción de la humanidad es alejarse de él, sin abandonar la Tierra. «Nunca he visto la noche. Nunca he visto las estrellas. Tampoco he visto la primavera ni el otoño ni el invierno. Nací a finales de la Era de la Frenada, justo cuando la Tierra dejó de girar.» Así empieza uno de los mejores relatos, adaptado a la pantalla por Netflix, del creador de la aclamada Trilogía de los Tres Cuerpos. El sol se está muriendo, y la Tierra, consumida por los últimos suspiros de esta estrella, también desaparecerá. Pero la humanidad, en lugar de abandonar el planeta, construye doce mil grandiosos motores de fusión para desorbitar la Tierra y propulsarla hacia Próxima Centauri en un viaje que durará siglos... La crítica ha dicho: «La escritura de Cixin Liu revive la edad dorada de la ciencia ficción.» The Guardian «La película demuestra que los productores chinos pueden competir con otras compañías de efectos visuales del mundo.» James Cameron

La esperada continuación de El problema de los tres cuerpos, el mejor libro de ciencia ficción y fantasía de 2016 según El Periódico, y uno de los diez mejores libros de ficción de 2016 según Playground. Ahora la Tierra tiene cuatro siglos para defenderse de lo inevitable: la llegada de los Trisolaris. Los colaboracionistas humanos pueden haber sido derrotados, pero los sofones permiten a los extraterrestres acceder a la información de la humanidad, dejando al descubierto toda estrategia de defensa. Solo la mente humana sigue siendo un secreto, y ahora también la clave del acuciante plan que urdirán tres estadistas, un científico y un sociólogo. «La trilogía de los Tres Cuerpos» es el gran fenómeno editorial que ha conquistado Occidente tras vender cuatro millones de ejemplares solamente en China y haberse hecho con prescriptores de la talla de Barack Obama, George R.R. Martin o Mark Zuckeberg. Cixin Liu se considera el gran descubrimiento de la ciencia ficción internacional tras alzarse con el Premio Hugo 2015 a la mejor novela, siendo la primera vez que una obra no escrita originariamente en inglés recibe este auténtico Nobel del género. La crítica ha dicho... «Increíblemente imaginativa, realmente interesante.» Barack Obama «Un descubrimiento. Una mezcla única de especulación científica y filosófica, de teoría de la conspiración y cosmología.» George R.R. Martin «Una tregua divertida a todos esos libros sobre economía y ciencias sociales que he estado leyendo últimamente.» Mark Zuckeberg
