Always run, never fight.
Preserve the knowledge.
Survive at all cost.
Take them to the stars.

Over 100 identical generations, Mia’s family has shaped earth history to push humanity to the stars, making brutal, wrenching choices and sacrificing countless lives.

After nudging the human race through the dawn of rocket technology, Mia finds herself about to help launch the first people into space. She can't take them to the stars, not quite yet, but she's getting them ever closer...

But a terrible adversary is upon her, threatening the future of two species...

Not as good as I hoped

I read the first book and although not a genre I would normally choose, I enjoyed it enough to choose the “sequel”. I felt this just lumbered on and on and on

Good

The story was a good one. Good second book. Not sure what will come next

Can’t wait to see what comes next.

I finished the first book and immediately went out to grab the next one.
An absolute delight.

Riveting

Riveting and relentless. Fascinating and funny. Tense and shocking. With characters you care about, this story really works. An audio page-turner. You'll listen to this one pretty fast.

WOW!

What can you say when a book far exceeds your expectations? This book and its predecessor (A History of What Comes Next) did just that. So I’ll say the word that came to my mind as Until the Last of Me finished: “WOW!”
