Here's the official synopsis: "The story begins in 1960s China when a young woman makes a fateful decision that reverberates across space and time into the present day. When the laws of nature as we know them inexplicably unravel, a tight knit group of brilliant scientists must join forces with an unflinching detective to stop humanity's greatest threat.

'3 Body Problem' is an epic story that redefines sci fi drama with its layered mysteries and genre bending high stakes."

The series title refers to a scientific term of orbital mechanics in the field of astrodynamics wherein three heavenly bodies exist in a gravitational relationship. First published internationally in 2008 as "The Three Body Problem," Liu's initial book in the beloved series collectively called "Remembrance of Earth's Past" was published in English by Tor Books in 2014.

It was highly acclaimed and won the prestigious Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2015, becoming the first Asian sci fi novel to accomplish this honorable feat. It was followed by its sequels "The Dark Forest" and "Death's End," released in English also by Tor in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
