"Showing that truth is stranger than fiction, Sylvain Neuvel weaves a scfi thriller reminiscent of Blake Crouch and Andy Weir in Until the Last of Me, blending a fast moving, darkly satirical look at the 1960s space race with an exploration of the amorality of progress and the nature of violence. The First Rule is the most important: "Always run, never fight." Over 100 generations, Mia's family has shaped Earth's history to push humanity to the stars, making brutal, wrenching choices along the way. And now 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 isno 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"-- - Baker & Taylor
In 1968, Miaâs family, who has shaped human history to push them to the stars, must stand their ground, risking not only their bloodline but the future of the human race as they go up against the men trying to stop them. 100,000 first printing. - McMillan Palgrave
â[A] riveting blend of historical thriller and scientific speculation, which never loses its core of humanity.ââJames Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on A History of What Comes Next
Sylvain Neuvel's Until the Last of Me presents a darkly satirical thriller, as seen through the eyes of the women who sacrifice all to make progress possible and the men who are determined to stop them.
The First Rule is the most important: Always run, never fight.
For generations, Miaâs family has shaped human history to push them to the stars.
The year is 1968 and she is on the cusp of destiny, poised to launch the first humans into space.
But she cannot take them to the stars, not quite yet. Her adversary is at her heels, the future of the planet at stake, and obeying the First Rule is no longer an option.
For the first time in one-hundred generations, Miaâs family will have to choose to stand their ground, risking not only their bloodline, but the future of the human race.
