Preorder the thrilling new instalment in a secret history of our
world like no other . . . 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 the year of 1968, Mia
finds herself about to help launch the first people into space. She
can't take them to the stars, not quite yet. But with her adversary
almost upon her, and with the future of the planet at stake, it's
becoming clearer that obeying the First Rule is no longer an
option. For the first time since her line's first generation, Mia
will have to choose to stand her ground, knowing that the
overwhelming odds mean that she risks not only her bloodline, but
also the future of the human race. Sylvain Neuvel's sci-fi thriller
Until the Last of Me is a fast, darkly satirical alternate history
of the 1960s space race in which the struggle isn't to be the first
to the stars - but the last one standing. Praise for Sylvain Neuvel
'It's fascinating to see how Neuvel weaves together fact and
fiction . . . a blast. Seriously clever' - SFX 'An alt-history with
a difference. Traces the true story of the development of rocket
science but adds an alien-conspiracy-theory edge . . . Good fun' -
Guardian 'Wry narration, wired action . . . Fans of alternate
history and intelligent sci-fi will love this' - Publishers Weekly
