I absolutely loved the Trisolaris books! Always wanted to read them but somehow they always evaded my attention. Trisolaris contains everything that I like about Science fiction: A compelling story, good character development, starfare, a vision for humankind and the big questions regarding the universe and our existence.

I just couldn’t stop reading! I’m German but read the English translation and really liked it.
