Enthralling... This novel has the same studiously well-thought-out
plot and situation, the same attention to detail and a similar
holistic outlook as the 'Three Body' books... Their personal
journeys against the backdrop of huge social revolutions are
touching and endlessly intriguing'
*SFcrowsnest*
A masterful opening sequence... Liu is superb at creating drama
from technical description'
*Guardian*
So absorbing... Liu is particularly good at evoking the short-term
loss, loneliness and panic... He thin-slices the start of Supernova
Era into tense minutes... An extraordinary novel... Continually
thrilling, engaging and thought-provoking'

A fascinating new novel from Cixin Liu, which has been described as
The Lord of the Flies as written by fantasy great Ursula Le
Guin
