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, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision.

A very good sci-fi story that focuses a lot on the science and gives a good blend of horror. Definitely hard science fiction. For those who enjoy that style it's perfect. The narrator was very good as well. The accurate pronunciation of all the names and places in Chinese helped with the immersion.

The story was amazingly written until supernatural stuff came about

great book and great narration

Profile Avatar paulkim005 Aug 2024

Confusing, convoluted, and boring. Really hard to get through this one. Narrator was decent but the content, lack of character development and emphasis on the scientific technicalities made it feel like a science journal vs a novel. Pass on it if you’re looking for a fun read.
