      Ľudská myseľ je najviac neprebádané územie. V pokračovaní príbehu Problém troch telies sa ľudstvo snaží zregenerovať po infiltrácii neznámou entitou. Hoci boli kolaboranti mimozemšťanov porazení, obranné plány Zeme sú odhalené. Naša myseľ je posledná nádej, ktorá výskumníkom ostáva v boji proti mimozemskej civilizácii. Nový projekt Wallfacer je odvážny plán a poskytne štyrom mužom zdroje pre navrhnutie možných tajných bojových stratégií. Traja z Wallfacerov sú vplyvní štátnici. Štvrtý, neambiciózny čínsky astronóm a sociológ Luo Ji, je zo svojho nového poslania zmätený a vystrašený. Vie len to, že sa stal jediným z tímu, ktorého chcú mŕtveho.

      On his fourteenth birthday, right before his eyes, Chen's parents are incinerated by a blast of ball lightning. Striving to make sense of this bizarre tragedy, he dedicates his life to a single goal: to unlock the secrets of this enigmatic natural phenomenon. His pursuit of ball lightning will take him far from home, across mountain peaks chasing storms and deep into highly classified subterranean laboratories as he slowly unveils a new frontier in particle physics. Chen's obsession gives purpose to his lonely life, but it can't insulate him from the real world's interest in his discoveries. He will be pitted against scientists, soldiers and governments with motives of their own: a physicist who has no place for moral judgement in his pursuit of knowledge; a beautiful army major obsessed with new ways to wage war; and a desperate nation facing certain military defeat.
