DESCRIPTION/SYNOPSIS:
Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon - soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.
Imagine the universe as a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, stealth is survival - any civilisation that reveals its location is prey. Earth has. Now the predators are coming. Crossing light years, the Trisolarians will reach Earth in four centuries' time. But the sophons, their extra-dimensional agents and saboteurs, are already here. Only the individual human mind remains immune to their influence.
This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a last-ditch defence that grants four individuals almost absolute power to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from human and alien alike.
Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead. Praise for The Three-Body Problem: 'Your next favourite sci-fi novel' Wired 'Immense' Barack Obama 'Unique' George R.R. Martin 'SF in the grand style' Guardian 'Mind-altering and immersive' Daily Mail Winner of the Hugo and Galaxy Awards for Best Novel

How book quality is graded:
- New - brand new and never owned.
- As-New - with extremely little signs of use, no blemishes. This includes 'mint' condition vintage books with no sign of use.
- Excellent - minor signs of use, may be almost 'as-new' except for a single scratch, small tear or scuff. A healthy firm spine, pages are still well aligned. Excellent vintage books will have more signs of ware than recently published books.
- Great - very obvious signs of use, may have a single bent page or a some cover fading. Spine is still strong, but pages may not all line up perfectly when book is closed.
- Unsellable - books that I don't bother purchasing for resale and will not appear on this store; many bent torn or folded pages, great sign of wear, stains on pages, sticky/stuck pages, large tears, weak spine and/or lose pages destroyed front/back cover.
Some tanning or darkening of vintage book pages is not considered a sign of poor condition, this is an attribute of all aging books, just like the nostalgic 'old book smell.'
