Last Man Standing

Earthburst, Book 1

De: Craig A. Falconer

Narrado por: Scott Aiello

A pulsating sci-fi thriller from the author of the global blockbuster Not Alone—perfect for fans of Andy Weir and A.G. Riddle.

I wasn’t supposed to survive.

The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead.

I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.

I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.

But I’m alive.

The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don't think they're finished yet.

Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I'm not just fighting for my own life.

I have to protect my family—whatever it takes.

And as long as I’m breathing, this isn't over.

Because whoever did this almost pulled it off...but they made one big mistake: They left the wrong man standing....

Character driven, intelligently written and perfectly narrated……

Exceptional and engaging writing combined with outstanding narration makes this one of my favorite series. I’m binge listening, on Book five ‘Reason To Fear’. The characters are intelligent and likable, especially Lika, the genetically enhanced parrot (whose intelligence is only surpassed by his sweetness). MC Ray faces the terrifying reality that he’s stranded in space with only his wits, skill set and the motivation of his family’s love, to get home to them anyway he can. A highly recommended nonstop listen.

Nope

Couldn't finish it. We have a smart guy who either does the most stupid things possible - all with a predictable bad ending - or has the worst luck ever. Add to that the fact that a quarter of the story is him imagining how things he's about to do could get wrong and you have a clearer picture of what's happening here.

Interesting premise, it could've been entertaining and definitely impossible to put down, but it's just annoying, full of fluff and in the end not suspenseful at all. As a result, I couldn't even finish it.

Great book

This is a great book. I’m really glad that the next book in the series is already available because I don’t want it to stop there. The narrator is amazing too.

Tedious, unfunny, unscientific

A near future scifi with artificial gravity but no simple safety procedure on a space station.

Good on process but lacks the realism aka hard sci-fi

I would have likes the story to have more concrete physics and science. The whole station artificial gravity was tough to accept on a whim.
