    Narrated by Feodor Chin

    About this audiobook

    "Feodor Chin is the perfect narrator to deliver this story... His voice is clear and precise, even when providing stellar accented inflections for the Chinese dialogue. Overall, a perfect balance of appropriately didactic storytelling and an engaging narration is geared to fascinate listeners." — AudioFile Magazine

    From science fiction legend Cixin Liu, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Three-Body Problem, comes a vision of the future that reads like Lord of the Flies on a global scale in Supernova Era.

    In those days, Earth was a planet in space.
    In those days, Beijing was a city on Earth.
    On this night, history as known to humanity came to an end.

    Eight light years away, a star has died, creating a supernova event that showers Earth in deadly levels of radiation. Within a year, everyone over the age of thirteen will die.

    And so the countdown begins. Parents apprentice their children and try to pass on the knowledge needed to keep the world running.

    But when the world is theirs, the last generation may not want to continue the legacy left to them. And in shaping the future however they want, will the children usher in an era of bright beginnings or final mistakes?

      I read this after "the three body problem" trilogy because I really wanted more of how great those books were. This is not it. The book has a bunch of non sequiturs that he tries to make fit into the story by force. Spoilers from here forward!! I'm fine with the uncientific way how a supernova kills someone depending of the date on their is card that's fine... That's the "Fi" part In Sci-fi , but almost everything else feels shoe horned in. Inconsequential, most advanced totally self aware AI, candy town description, totally unbelievable Antarctica games, land switching (for no reason whatsoever) and a senseless ending. The author came up with an interesting premise but had no idea what to do with it.

      Another excellent hard SF novel. The thought experiment is interesting. Like ROEP, some concepts & actions initially appear silly until careful consideration and time for reflection
