#6: Cixin Liu, The Three-Body Problem (Remembrance of Earth's Past #1)

I surprised myself by powering through this in one sitting. Although the characters largely felt flat and uninteresting to me, and the amount of bloodshed exceeded my usual tolerance, the plot was well structured and full of delightful twists. I never would have imagined that solving an abstract mathematical conjecture could be the key to the survival of an entire civilization!

Unfortunately my library doesn't have copies of the other two books in the trilogy, so I will have to acquire them at some point if I want to know the ultimate ending of the story.
