Best Sci-Fi book ever.

Okay, that does it! Just ordered it from Amazon on my Kindle. Prefer a real book in my hands, but my eyes just aren't very good anymore. Thanks for the rec!

One thing I found amazing about the trilogy (especially the first book).

The chinese author wrote about the communist take over of china. I was thinking...they let him write about this? Because he doesn’t make it sound good. And also in the book he talks about a political officer in the military. Something as a USAF Officer is completely foreign to me and he had no clue most militaries don’t have this.

But that’s just an aside from the great sci-fi in the trilogy. It’s hardcore sci-fi too. Quantum Physics, entanglement, life outside of our planet issues, etc... Amazing.
