Overview
This seven-book paperback collection brings together Cixin Liu's landmark science fiction in one shelf-ready set. At its core sits the Hugo Award-winning Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy — The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End — tracing first contact with an alien civilization across generations. Rounding out the set are four standalone novels in Liu's wider universe: Ball Lightning, Supernova Era, To Hold Up the Sky, and The Wandering Earth. Together they showcase the hard science and human drama that have made Liu one of speculative fiction's most acclaimed voices.

About the Books
Cixin Liu built his reputation by marrying rigorous physics with vast, humane storytelling, and this collection traces that range across seven works. The Three-Body Problem opens with a secret Cultural Revolution-era project that answers a signal from deep space, launching a first-contact saga that won the Hugo Award for Best Novel. The Dark Forest follows with a chilling theory about the true nature of the universe, while Death's End closes the trilogy across eons and dimensions. Beyond the trilogy, Ball Lightning follows a scientist obsessed with a rare atmospheric phenomenon. Supernova Era imagines a world where a nearby star's death leaves only children to inherit civilization. To Hold Up the Sky gathers shorter fiction ranging from near-future technology to cosmic-scale disaster. The Wandering Earth, which inspired the blockbuster film, imagines humanity relocating the planet to escape a dying sun. Across all seven books, Liu returns to the tension between scientific ambition and human fragility, using hard science fiction as a lens for questions about civilization and sacrifice, and what people owe one another when the stakes are planetary in scale. Readers who enjoy idea-driven storytelling paired with genuine emotional stakes will find this collection an immersive introduction to one of contemporary science fiction's most inventive and internationally celebrated writers, whose work has reshaped the genre's global conversation over the past decade.
