Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal — and plans to invade Earth.

Meanwhile, on Earth, factions begin to form: those who would welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, and those who would fight against the invasion at any cost.

The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision — the first novel in the groundbreaking trilogy from China's most celebrated science fiction author, Cixin Liu.
