Yeah, I recommend people don't read that book, but do read the one chapter about the aliens, what is it, second to the last chapter of the book? That chapter is some of the best sci Fi I've ever encountered, the rest of the book... you can skip it.

Can you name the chapter specifically? I guess it will spoil a lot of the first book no?

It looks like that was chapter 33, Trisolaris: Sophon

If you want to jump in and read that chapter, all you need to know is this:

!the aliens are on a planet in the alpha centuri/proxima centuri trinary star system, the closest stars to the sun. Also, apparently the three suns means it sucks there and they're desperately looking for a new star system.!<

Thank you, I'll read that chapter!
