This is the central element in an enormously erudite narrative that ranges from the Cultural Revolution of 1967 to the imperiled present, illuminating events from the alternating perspectives of its human and non-human protagonists. When a signal from Earth-a compatible planet-reaches them, the Trisolarians initiate an extremely long-range plan to vacate their dying planet and make Earth their new home. Under the shifting influence of these suns, Trisolaris cycles repeatedly between “Chaotic Eras” and “Stable Eras” as their planet moves inexorably toward destruction. It also refers to an immensely sophisticated “game” in which players enter a world (Trisolaris) dominated by three different suns. The book takes its title from a classical physics problem involving the effects – gravitational and climatic – of three celestial bodies occupying a limited space. Please pay careful attention to the titles listed in each matching set! And note whether the Cretaceious Past is a trade or limited in the set you are ordering!
