The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu

The second installment of Chinas best-selling apocalyptic space opera trilogy.
A unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology -- George RR. 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 * New York Times *
Cixin Liu is the author of your next favourite sci-fi novel * Wired *
China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke * The New Yorker *
A marvellous mélange of awe-inspiring scientific concepts, clever plotting and quirky yet plausible characters, all conveyed in in a plain style capable of signalling hidden depths * The Times *
The best kind of science fiction -- Kim Stanley Robinson
Vivid, imaginative and rooted in cutting-edge science... Cixin stands at the top tier of speculative fiction in any language' -- David Brin
Full of surprises and wondrous ideas... The depth of feeling here is extraordinary. Emotion and science brilliantly co-exist. To call the vision grand and ambitious seems a ridiculous understatement... I await the conclusion, Death's End, in the spring with enormous anticipation. I have no doubt that when this trilogy is complete we will have a masterpiece on our hands' * For Winter Nights *
Hauntingly gentle in its delivery and gorgeous in its own wondrous atmosphere, The Dark Forest is a quiet slice of lovely science fiction... it's bursting with character and ingenuity' * Starburst magazine *
Chinese SF has been neglected in the wider world for far too long * Interzone *
[The Three-Body Problem and The Dark Forest are] the works of fiction I am most enthusiastic about * Bloomberg *
Even what doesn't happen is epic * London Review of Books *
Cixin Liu is China's #1 SF writer and author of The Three-Body Problem – the first ever translated novel to win a Hugo Award. Prior to becoming a writer, Liu worked as an engineer in a power plant in Yangquan.
