Spellbinding high-concept fiction as rich as The Man in the High Castle and as packed with thrills as Ready Player One

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 1968, Mia finds herself about to help launch the first people into space. But with her adversary approaching and the future of the planet at stake, obeying the First Rule is no longer an option.

For the first time since her line's first generation, Mia will have to stand her ground, risking not only her bloodline, but the future of the human race.

Reviews for Until the Last of Me

Introspective, lyrical and with a growing sense of menace running under it all * The Times * 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 in the shape of a fictional team of mother-daughter clones. Along with the problems faced by women trying to change the world (or at least get men to listen to them), they are threatened by a mysterious 'Tracker' who has spent centuries trying to kill them. Good fun * Guardian * A dark and ambitious book. Neuvel is forging ahead * SFX Magazine * Wry narration, wired action . . . Fans of alternate history and intelligent sci-fi will love this * Publishers Weekly * Clever and compelling, it will keep you enthralled until the end -- Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Oppenheimer Alternative * - * There's real cleverness at work here. Mia, bent on getting humanity sufficiently technologically developed so that they can leave Earth, makes some dodgy-sounding moral choices as she works towards humanity's salvation * The Times * Highly crafted and unique * Library Journal *
