The Three-Body Problem

The first installment of the acclaimed trilogy. This set the tone of the upcoming books, but the scale here is much less.

This is not the most strict Hard Science Fiction by all means, but the author tries his best in doing everything possible with the modern understanding of the laws of Physics....... more or less.

The title of the book and focal point is about the problem described in physics and orbital mechanics about finding the subsequent motions of three celestial bodies using Newtons Law of Motion.

There is a bunch of surprises here as we get to look over some very well known historical figures and an alien culture trying to survive to the catalyst effects of their start system

With its flat but ok characters, the Chinese setting makes the story even more engaging.
