Amazon has Death's End by Cixin Liu (The Three-Body Problem Series Book 3, Kindle eBook) on sale for $5.99.

Thanks to community member hwrhs87 for sharing this deal.

About these books:
  • These are part of The Three-Body Problem Series (4 total books).
  • 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.
  • Death's End: Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent.

You're bugs!
I'm Chinese American and I couldn't put book 1 down. It was really interesting reading about events my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles lived through personally. My parents were just young enough to avoid all the negative fallout, get an education, and build a life in the US.

I bought both book 1 and book 3 on sale for $2.99 (or was it $1.99). Waiting on a similar sale for book 2, and MAYBE book 4 since different author so unsure about quality of work.

Great series, it made "Project Hail Mary" look like a kid's book.

Yeah, I read these back to back and that didn't do Project Hail Mary any favors.

I'm not sure I'd recommend 3 Body Problem to everyone, but I can universally recommend that any fans of The Martian just re-read that book instead of Project Hail Mary.
You're both crazy. This book is so long winded just to get to the end and have a completely rushed ending. If you like to have some semblance of a conclusion to a giant 3 book series then this is not it. Project Hail Mary was everything I wish these books ended up being…

I checked my kindle purchase history. I got all 3 books in the series at $3 each. Ereader IQ says that's the historical low for each book. $3.

I got books 1 and 2 in 2020 for $3 each. Book 3 was $3 in 2022.

Ereader IQ is a good resource. It tells you the historic low and you can set email notifications on a per book or a per author basis. I picked up most of my kindle library for $2 or $3 each
