The Dark Forest

by Joel Martinsen · Remembrance of Earth's Past series

Earth reels from the knowledge of an alien invasion four centuries away, and humanity must devise a defense against an enemy whose technology far surpasses their own. Cixin Liu's middle volume explores the dark game theory of interstellar conflict, where silence may be survival and contact means annihilation.
