Overview
This five-book paperback collection brings together Cixin Liu's landmark science fiction: the Hugo Award-winning Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy plus two standalone novels. The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End trace humanity's first contact with the Trisolaran civilization and the calculus of cosmic survival, while The Wandering Earth imagines a planet-scale exodus and The Supernova Era asks what happens when only children inherit a shattered world. Together, these novels showcase Liu's fusion of hard science and human stakes, ideal for newcomers and longtime fans of ambitious science fiction.

About the Books
Cixin Liu's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy begins with The Three-Body Problem, threading the trauma of China's Cultural Revolution through a first-contact mystery involving a strange video game and a civilization on the brink of extinction. The Dark Forest expands into full interstellar strategy, introducing the chilling "dark forest" theory of cosmic silence as humanity prepares for an invasion centuries in the making. Death's End closes the trilogy with a vast meditation on deterrence, sacrifice, and the universe's fate, spanning millennia and testing human ingenuity to its limits, and offering one of modern science fiction's most ambitious endings. Rounding out the set are two standalone novels: The Wandering Earth, in which humanity builds thousands of colossal engines to physically relocate the planet away from a dying sun, and The Supernova Era, an account of a world run entirely by children after a stellar explosion irradiates every adult on Earth. Across all five novels, Liu combines rigorous scientific speculation with intimate emotional drama, exploring how individuals and civilizations respond when survival demands unthinkable choices. Translated into English by Ken Liu and Joel Martinsen, these editions carry the acclaim that made Liu the first Asian author to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, rewarding readers who enjoy big ideas paired with genuine emotional weight.
