Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon – now a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.

Death's End by Cixin Liu is the thrilling conclusion to the groundbreaking Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy. Following the events of the Doomsday Battle, humanity has entered an era of unprecedented prosperity, thanks to the advanced knowledge imported from the Trisolarans. This seeming utopia is built on the fragile foundation of Dark Forest Deterrence, a strategy preventing either the Trisolarans or humans from initiating conflict due to the threat of mutually assured destruction.

As Earth reaps the benefits of Trisolaran scientific advancements, humanity's complacency grows, lulled by the belief that peace is now sustainable. Amidst this uneasy tranquillity, Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the 21st century, awakens from hibernation. Her presence introduces new variables; she carries with her the remnants of an early Trisolar Crisis programme that could disrupt the delicate equilibrium between human and Trisolaran powers.

Cheng Xin's emergence prompts critical questions for humanity: will the species rise to explore beyond the stars or face extinction within its earthly confines? Her potential to either salvage or doom humanity adds layers of tension and complexity to an already intricate and compelling narrative tapestry.
