About the book
Death's End is a science fiction novel by Liu Cixin, first published in Chinese in 2010 and closing the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy. It opens during the early years of the Trisolar Crisis, as humanity awaits an alien invasion fleet. Young aerospace engineer Cheng Xin joins an intelligence agency run by the coldly rational Thomas Wade and takes part in a daring plan to place a human spy among the approaching Trisolarans. Centuries later, a fragile truce built on cosmic deterrence holds, and Cheng finds herself at the centre of humanity's survival.
