"Wildly imaginative." — Barack Obama
"A breakthrough book." — George R. R. Martin

Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion — in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, subatomic particles that give Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy.

Only the human mind remains a secret.

This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project — a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists. But the fourth is a total unknown: Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
