The Dark Forest is the second novel in the groundbreaking, Hugo Award-winning series from China's most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu.

In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

Incredible book. But what’s even more incredible is how poor the narrator is. He may pronounce the names better than the previous narrator, but wow this is truly one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had as far as narration. He will frequently forget what voices he does for which character, adding an infuriating amount of confusion. He will also frequently forget to pause after a page break or new chapter, leading to even more confusion. Truly Unbelievable.

This entire series has been incredible so far, but I agree with the rest of the comments. The narrator sounded a little, checked out at times, but he did quite well with the pronunciation of names.

Again, this was another TOUGH listen. More than 20 hours of the book was based on technical descriptions while the more enjoyable aspects of the book was focused around the characters that mattered or the Droplet destroying the space fleet. Most of the deep explanations lead me to daydreaming or less attentive just waiting for it to focus back on a lead character and stopping the pain. For those who make it to the end, congratulations you are a part of the elite listeners. Audiobook.com should send medals for those who finished lol. As with the first book (Which was also a tough read) which ended with a conclusion of a character focused story, this ended well with characters as well. I'm onto book three which is very good so far....
