I loved the idea of the last human being the one thing that the other races are scared of. There are different parts to the story that separate Sarya’s journey and the further on I got the more I lost how it was connected to the beginning. I thought these two characters in particular were well created and I thought Sarya made for an excellent protagonist, however as her journey progressed I found myself getting a bit lost in the story. I also liked seeing her interactions with her mother who is much more aggressive and warlike species. I really enjoyed the beginning of the book seeing Sarya attempt to live a life where everyone thinks she is someone else. It was a fascinating tale and an impressive debut novel. This is a book completely unlike anything I’ve read before. When she comes face to face with a bounty hunter her cover is blown and she begins to uncover the truth behind the demise of humanity and and discover a way to gain a second chance for herself and for the human race. Hiding with her adoptive mother (Shenya the Widow) and pretending to be of the same alien species.

The Last Human is the epic science fiction tale of Sarya – the last human in the universe. Humanity’s death and her own existence might simply be two moves in a demented cosmic game, one that might offer the thing she wants most in the universe – a second chance for herself, and one for humanity. Thrown into the universe at the helm of a stolen ship, Sarya begins to uncover an impossible truth. That is, until an encounter with a bounty hunter leaves her life and her perspective shattered. Again.Īnd most days, she can almost accept that she’ll never know the truth about why humanity was deemed too dangerous to exist, or whether she really is – impossibly – the lone survivors of a species destroyed a millennium ago.

Or making sure her adoptive mother doesn’t casually eviscerate one of their neighbors. Like hiding her identity among the hundreds of alien species roaming the corridors of Watertower Station. No, most days, she’s got other things on her mind. Sarya is the galaxy’s worst nightmare: a Human.īut most days, she doesn’t feel like the most terrifying creature in the galaxy.
