Against the backdrop of authentic historical events, Sylvain Neuvel concludes his acclaimed Take Them to the Stars series with a biting satire on the role of authority in all its guises, bringing us a truly breathtaking science fiction trilogy that spans the ages. When you don’t know The Rules it’s hard to stay safe. After a traumatic incident, Aster finds that her blood work comes back with some unusual readings. Unsurprising, as she’s the last of an alien race called the Kibsu, though she doesn’t know it. She becomes the focus of a hunt, with her mortal enemies, the Trackers, on one side, and the American government on the other. But help has come from a most unexpected quarter. Whoever finds her first, it won’t be good news for Aster. Or for the world!

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

Alternate Cover Edition can be found here . Als Rose Franklin op haar nieuwe fietsje vlak bij haar huis in Deadwood, South Dakota rijdt, valt ze plotseling in een enorm gat in de aarde. Ze komt bij op de bodem van een nagenoeg perfect vierkante kuil, waarvan de muren vol staan met ingewikkelde graveringen die licht geven en lijken te pulseren. Maar de brandweermannen die haar komen redden, staren naar een nog vreemder schouwspel: een klein, geschrokken meisje in de palm van een reusachtige metalen hand. Zeventien jaar later is het mysterie van dit bizarre artefact nog altijd onopgelost; de oorsprong, de maker en het doel zijn onbekend. Uitkomsten van de koolstofdatering tarten elk geloof, het leger schrijft het ene na het andere topgeheime rapport, maar lijkt het nergens over eens te kunnen worden. Theorieën worden verzonnen en nagenoeg onmiddellijk weer verworpen. Als men geen oplossing vindt, begint men langzaam zijn belangstelling voor dit schijnbaar onoplosbare raadsel te verliezen. Sommigen kunnen echter niet stoppen met zoeken naar antwoorden. Rose Franklin is inmiddels een hoogopgeleide natuurkundige die een topgeheim team leidt om het mysterie van de gigantische hand te ontrafelen. Maar als de stukje van de puzzel eenmaal op hun plaats liggen, zal het resultaat dan juist een middel voor eeuwige vrede of een wapen voor massavernietiging blijken te zijn?
