The acclaimed author of The Fellowship of Alien Detection delivers the first book in an ambitious space epic--a powerful, emotional, pulse-pounding story of the final days of humanity\'s first home in the universe, and the desperate search for another.
Because before this day is over, Liam and Phoebe will make a series of profound discoveries about the nature of time and space and find out that the human race is just one of many in our universe locked in a dangerous struggle for survival..
Or so he thinks.
The son of two scientists who have been racing against time to create technology vital to humanity\'s survival, Liam, along with his friend Phoebe, will be on the Last starliner to depart before Mars, like Earth before it, is destroyed.
Liam Saunders-Chang is one of the Last humans left on Mars.
The human race has fled to Mars, but this was only a temporary solution while we have prepared for a second trip: a one-hundred-fifty-year journey to a distant star, our best guess at where we might find a new home.
Not since it was burned to a cinder by the sun, which has mysteriously begun the process of going supernova. --Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Unwanteds series It is Earth year 2213--but, of course, there is no Earth anymore. --Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series Emerson\'s writing explodes off the page in this irresistible space adventure, filled with startling plot twists, diabolical aliens, and (my favorite ) courageous young heroes faced with an impossible task.
A fantastic start to an epic new series.
Like a lovechild of Gravity and The Martian , it\'s a rousing space opera for any age, meticulously researched and relentlessly paced, that balances action, science, humor, and most importantly, two compelling main characters in Liam and Phoebe.
Last Day on Mars is thrillingly ambitious and imaginative. 5/8.
