“I’ve still got a real bad feeling,” mumbled Heinbichler. “And I’ll tell you all one thing: This Grimm girl can read the forest like none of us.” Forestry Student Anja Grimm is working on a soil-mapping project in a remote region in Bavaria where her father disappeared when she was just eight years old. A few days into the work, the nightmare of her childhood seems to repeat itself. Deep in the woods she runs into mentally disturbed Xaver with whom she often played when she was a child. Just hours after they meet, he hangs himself. And Xaver’s suicide will not remain the only disturbing event connected to Anja’s reappearance. An emotionally charged thriller about guilt and denial. “The Silent Forest” is set in a present day idyllic German region still haunted by terrible events that transpired there during the last days of the war – a moving story about a young woman who cannot help but read the mute testimony of the horrors of history written in the silent language of nature.

In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
