The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Three-Body Problem Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Three-Body Problem\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dark Forest\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeath's End\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBall Lightning\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSupernova Era\u003cbr\u003eTo Hold Up The Sky\u003c\/i\u003e (forthcoming)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCIXIN LIU is a prolific and popular science fiction writer in the People's Republic of China.
