After discovering that an alien race is coming to eradicate humankind, the world prepares for a battle that is more than four centuries in the future. A narrator change in an audiobook series is always tricky, but the decision to cast P.J. Ochlan instead of Luke Daniels, narrator of the first book, proves to work. Ochlan provides a strong and determined delivery of the narrative while maintaining consistency across a host of dynamic and curious characters. Additionally, he captures the increasing tension in a controlled performance that adds more suspense to the story and keeps listeners' attention. L.E. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

Readers who haven’t read (or haven’t recently reread) 2014’s The Three-Body Problem will feel disoriented at the outset of this sprawling hard SF novel. In the prologue, an ant and a spider overhear Dr. Ye Wenjie, an astrophysicist, suggest to astronomer-turned-sociologist Luo Ji that there are “axioms of cosmic civilization,” a neat variation on Asimov’s psychohistory. This scene epitomizes the book’s biggest flaw: clever ideas lost in often didactic prose. Before the notion of a cosmic sociology can be further developed, Liu shifts gears to present a dialogue between an alien intelligence, the Trisolaris, and the leader of the Earth-Trisolaris Organization, about the distinction between thought and speech. The Trisolarians pose a significant threat to humankind, which triggers very different responses on Earth, ranging from the Escapists, who believe that flight is the only option, to the formation of a Planetary Defense Council. The upbeat ending sets up the concluding volume, but not everyone will have the patience needed to get that far.
