Tor Books is proud to present the cover for Death’s End, the concluding book in the tour de force near-future adventure trilogy from China’s best-selling and most beloved science fiction writer, with yet another beautiful image from Stephan Martinière!
Cixin Liu’s first book in the series, The Three-Body Problem, came out last year and is currently on the Hugo and Nebula Awards ballot. Book two, The Dark Forest, will be out this summer. Death’s End, the exciting concluding volume, will be out January 2016.
Here is the catalog copy for Death’s End (minus spoilers for The Dark Forest):
With The Three-Body Problem, English-speaking readers got their first chance to experience the multiple-award-winning and bestselling Three-Body Trilogy by China’s most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu. Three-Body was released to great acclaim including coverage in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. It was also named a finalist for the Nebula Award, making it the first translated novel to be nominated for a major SF award since Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities in 1976.
In January of 2016, this epic trilogy will conclude with Death’s End, which takes place half a century after the end of the second book in the Three-Body trilogy, The Dark Forest, out in the U.S. on July 7, 2015. How has humanity answered the threat of the Trisolaran Invasion Fleet? And what outcome would prove the greater threat to humanity’s existence: defeat, or victory? Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle?

A look at the full trilogy:
This is such a beautiful, modern and metallic front page! A fabulous cover for the last book! =)
What a beautiful cover. I am so excited to read the last book of the trilogy. I might have to go into suspended animation. The wait is killing me.
The scope of the third book has been far beyond the previous two. The humanity and Trisolarians found themselves just kids in a galactic war that they cannot even imagine. Both try to fight, survive, and become something new, unexpected. Reading this book is just like watching humanity walking out of the Africa millions of years before. Hugo / Nebula prize please!
