In Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion—four centuries in the future.

All he knows is that he's …

Excellent. On par with Asimov.

5 étoiles

The second part is as good as the first one. A great combination of astrophysics, sociology, philosophy. Luckily I read Asimov's Foundations before Cixin books and I see there are alot of references and parallels with them. The translation to EN was better and more understandabla in the first part. I had big difficulties imagining characters. Maybe because of Chinese names, or because of their one-dimensionality.

Inhalt vs. Form

4 étoiles

Der zweite Teil der Trisolaris-Reihe war für mich nicht so gut zu lesen wie der erste (Die drei Sonnen). Obwohl die Handlung interessant und spannend ist, fand ich die Art, wie es geschrieben war, eher langweilig. Das mag vielleicht an der Übersetzung liegen, keine Ahnung. Generell finde ich Hard SciFi wie den von Liu Cixin sehr gut, weil ich da immer wieder wieder neue Sachen lerne.

Übrigens hat es die "Dunkle-Wald-These" sogar als wissenschaftliche Theorie zum Fermi-Paradoxon ins Wikipedia geschafft.
