Bloomsbury presents The Three-Body Problem 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.

1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind.

Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns.

This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.

This book is very unique in so many ways. The author has done great job of building the characters in this book. Also I was amazed how he has used deep scientific knowledge to weave the story that is deeply profound!

Amazing story. Probably the best science fiction book I’ve read so far.

I’m only a fourth into it and I’m hating the narrator so much I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish it. And I’ve only made it this far because the book itself is fantastic. I wish I had bought the kindle version instead.

Amazing story. Can’t stand this narrator

An excellent sci-fi book, worth listening both to experience the wonders of Three Body, and to observe the influence of author’s native culture on atmosphere and meaning of the story. The narrator sounds harsh, but he did a good job to convey not only the book’s content but also the nature of its original language.

Well worth listening
