Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Dark Forest 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.
Imagine the universe as a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, stealth is survival – any civilisation that reveals its location is prey.
Earth has. Now the predators are coming.
Crossing light years, the Trisolarians will reach Earth in four centuries' time. But the sophons, their extra-dimensional agents and saboteurs, are already here. Only the individual human mind remains immune to their influence.
This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a last-ditch defence that grants four individuals almost absolute power to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from human and alien alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown.
Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

Wild ride continued
Amazing story well-read. The translation was seamless from the 1st book and carried the author’s ‘voice’. Performer needs to improve his American accent.

A fantastic sequel to the slow boil of the first book
Brilliant science fiction, on a level that is very rare these days. Narration continues to be very strong and engaging.

The story is fantastic
Great story! Great Segway from the first book and into the last book. I can’t wait to listen to the third book. I love the ingenuity and creative mind of the author when describing the future of humans.

One of the most amazing stories in science fiction
Since I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. I would be walking European cities during my holidays with this instead of music due to the intriguing plot and amazing concepts laid out in this series. If you love space operas and science fiction this is a must follow up to the first book. Can’t wait to see how this will be translated to live action.

Makes you think
loved the characters and loved the story. Not yet sure how this will effect my life, but it has certainly made me think 'big picture' about our world.

An excellent continuation of the series.
Much like the first book it takes a while to get into, but the pay-off is awesome.

Cracker of a story that opens the mind
When the title of this book becomes clear I’m sure your mind will start spinning like mine. Quoting the author, we are definitely burning a bonfire in a dark forest.
