The Last Voyage

De: Brian D. McLaren

Narrado por: Davis Brooks

It's 2056 and international oligarchs have pushed the world to the precipice of ecological, economic, and nuclear catastrophe. But two philanthropists have teamed up to establish a long-term colony on Mars. Could this daring outpost be the next chapter in the story of the human race?

Assembling a crack team of experts including scientists, engineers and ecologists, the colony begins to establish a viable outpost on our nearest planet. But the team quickly runs into problems as they bear the responsibility of creating a new humanity. Can they work out what has gone wrong before it's too late? And will the passengers of the last voyage from earth bring what's needed for this fledging community to flourish?

This first volume in a thrilling new trilogy from Brian McLaren, explores what it means to be human and what would we choose to bring with us or leave behind, if we were to start all over again.

Engaging story

I enjoyed this book. I laughed. I cried. I had several “aha!” moments. When is the next book?

Excellent!

Brian McLaren portrays a near future world that is unfortunately easy to imagine. The last voyage on an ark to Mars is a fight to save some of humanity. It is well written and very compelling. I’m looking forward to the next book in the trilogy. Davis Brooks narrates beautifully.
