Description
A warm, witty and profound science fiction adventure, that explores what it means to live in a finite universe - while also occasionally having to clean cat vomit off your spaceship. Perfect for fans of Becky Chambers and TJ Klune.
A dying universe. A search for answers. An adventure at the end of a trillion lifetimes.
The Last Gifts of the Universe follows Scout, an archivist, as they search the dead worlds of the cosmos for clues about the fate of lost civilisations. While exploring another lifeless planet, they discover something unbelievable - a message from a witness to that world's end thousands of years ago.
But uncovering the story and staying one step ahead of the profit-hungry corporation on their trail won't be easy. Together with their brother and sometimes-fearless, space-faring cat Pumpkin, Scout must now race to save what matters most.
