Death's End

By Liu Cixin.

A good end to the Three Body Problem trilogy. The book is an enjoyable read. If I have any beef with the book it's that Cixin wanted to write more about the books theme's, than about the plot. At some point, about 2/3rds of the way through the book, the villains, the Trisolarians, just leave and they are never really heard from again. We never learn much about them. Of course the Trisolarians were never the point of the story. The point is to dive into the harsh realities of cosmic sociology, where civilizations must remain hidden or risk annihilation in a ruthless, Darwinian universe.
