Until the Last of Me

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Spellbinding high-concept fiction as rich as The Man in the High Castle and as packed with thrills as Ready Player One.

The First Rule is the most important: 'Always run, never fight.'

For 3000 years, Mia's family has shaped Earth's history to push humanity to the stars, making brutal, wrenching choices along the way.

And now, in 1968, Mia finds herself about to help launch the first people into space. But with her adversary approaching and the future of the planet at stake, obeying the First Rule is no longer an option.

For the first time since her line's first generation, Mia will have to stand her ground, risking not only her bloodline but the future of the human race.

Until the Last of Me by Sylvain Neuvel is a thought-provoking blend of fact and fiction, noted for its lyrical and introspective style with an underlying sense of menace. The narrative traces the history of rocket science while infusing an alien-conspiracy twist through a unique mother-daughter clone team, and the book also tackles the challenges faced by women striving to make a difference. The story is praised for its cleverness, compelling plot, and its exploration of ambitious and dark themes, offering a mix of alternate history and intelligent sci-fi.
