A review by bookchelle
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu

3.5

The Three-Body Problem is a story that unfolds during a Chinese cultural revolution. The title explains the theoretical scientific concept that menacingly destroys the lives of scientists who begin to see a countdown. Amidst the inner workings of secret government societies, scientists are drawn straight into the dangers of the scientific breakdown of first contact, slowly revealing the signs of first contact and an impending invasion that had me on the edge of my seat. The Three-Body Problem has chaotic plot twists, hard scientific facts, and a story riveting enough to suspend even your own belief.
