Resumen del Editor

Set in the universe of the New York Times best-selling Three-Body Problem trilogy, The Redemption of Time continues Cixin Liu’s multi-award-winning science fiction saga. This original story by Baoshu - published with Liu’s support - envisions the aftermath of the conflict between humanity and the extraterrestrial Trisolarans.

In the midst of an interstellar war, Yun Tianming found himself on the front lines. Riddled with cancer, he chose to end his life, only to find himself flash frozen and launched into space where the Trisolaran First Fleet awaited. Captured and tortured beyond endurance for decades, Yun eventually succumbed to helping the aliens subjugate humanity in order to save Earth from complete destruction.

Granted a healthy clone body by the Trisolarans, Yun has spent his very long life in exile as a traitor to the human race. Nearing the end of his existence at last, he suddenly receives another reprieve - and another regeneration. A consciousness calling itself The Spirit has recruited him to wage battle against an entity that threatens the existence of the entire universe. But Yun refuses to be a pawn again and makes his own plans to save humanity’s future....

Unnecessary

Unnecessary and unsatisfying. Good performance but the story is very often melodramatic and cringe inducing

A bit too fantastical compared to the Cixin Liu

overall not bad, the story achieves a resolute cyclical finish but only addresses problems which are introduced at the beginning of this book, making it almost an isolated work. there is much more happenstance and predictable dramatic play as well as demystifying things which would better stay opaque. but if you're looking for something interesting that closes Cixins original work this is for you

Fun expansion on an already great story

This was an interesting take on the three body problem. It dove a little deeper into character development. I listened to the whole thing in just a few days.

An absolute MUST read!

Loves the book just as much as I did the trilogy! A great conclusion to the original trilogy.

great concepts of future and past universes

this was a amazing story. reminds me of 1st time I read Dune novels Frank Herbert and foundation series by Isaac Asimov where concepts were so big it took several rereads to final grasp it. And you love and hate the characters but enjoy both immensely.

the redemption of time

This book starts out explaining things that happened in Deaths End and was very interesting. Then when the new seeker was told that when the universe was restarted that everything that happened in the old one would happen exactly again... well sure if you ignore cauos theory. He should (I did) have known it was BS. Still it was a fun read.

Lovely

Quite a lovely tribute to Mr. Liu the 3 Body series. Fantastic and lovely it helped ease the shock of separation felt when you find yourself at the end of a truly great series. Thank you.

Just bad writing

Cringey at best, mysoginistic neck beard style self-indulgent self-insert at worst. Do not recommend. Author should have just taken up D&D or something if they wanted to be a magical space wizard with five waifus.

Should have stayed as fan fiction

I managed somehow to finish the whole thing. Starts off great with a lot of potential but then end up dropping the ball almost half way through.

Scratches the Three Body itch, but...

this book definitely serves the purpose of filling the void left after finishing the main trilogy, but it still falls short in a few places. some chapters would feel right at home in either of the previous two novels, but others just feel like gratuitous fanfic, which is to be expected. The ending is particularly needless.

Dont go into this expecting something consistently on the caliber of the rest of the series, if you do, you'll be disappointed. but if you just want to stay in the Three Body universe for a little while longer, this mostly does the job. It answers a few questions that were left over from the last one, and also a few questions that probably no one had and didn't really need to be answered.
