About this listen

 Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award

***Paradise-1, David Wellington's gripping new survival horror set in the deepest reaches of space, is out now***

'An edge-of-your-seat tale of first contact'
Gareth L. Powell

'A terrifying tour de force . . . Gripping authenticity and an uncompromising white-knuckled pace' James Rollins

'Timely and terrifying, The Last Astronaut propels us deep into the mysteries of space . . . breathless, compulsive reading' Christopher Golden

A huge alien object has entered the solar system and is now poised above the Earth. It has made no attempt to communicate.

Out of time and options, NASA turns to its last living astronaut - Commander Sally Jansen, who must lead a team of raw recruits on a mission to make First Contact.

But as the object reveals its secrets, Jansen and her crew find themselves in a desperate struggle for survival - against the cold vacuum of space, and something far, far worse . . .

'Great action, knockout characters, scarily believable science' Jackson Ford©2019 David Wellington (P)2019 Hachette Audio UK Adventure First Contact Science Fiction Space Opera Space Fiction

Enjoyable read

I enjoyed this. It was a bit slow to get going, but the second half of the book was faster paced and filled with tension.
… ok, I have to whinge about this. There was a conversation were one of the characters described the fate of the Tasmanian aboriginals. It was a completely false and totally bizarre explanation. As a Tasmanian I was incredulous and completely removed from the story immersion.
