Last Exit

De: Max Gladstone

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Max Gladstone weaves American myths—the muscle car, the open road, the white-hatted cowboy—into a deeply emotional tale.

When Zelda and her friends first met, in college, they believed they had all the answers. They had figured out a big secret about how the world worked and they thought that meant they could change things.

They failed. One of their own fell, to darkness and rot. Ten years later, they’ve drifted apart, building lives for themselves, families, fortunes. All but Zelda. She’s still wandering the back roads of the nation. She’s still fighting monsters. She
knows: the past isn’t over. It’s not even past.

The road’s still there. The rot’s still waiting. They can’t hide from it any more.

Because, at long last, their friend is coming home. And hell is coming with her.

One of my favorites

This is the book I wanted “American Gods” or “The City We Became” to be. The cosmic horror hits just right.

no words

this is one of the best novels I have ever read, a perfect blend of science fiction and the mythos of the road

The End of the World is just the beginning

Performance was amazing. Was hoping for an ending more grounded in the mundane to give me hope in the real world but this is a work of fantasy after all.

An epic saga

Beautifully-written story, imaginative and captivating, told in pitch-perfect narration. Throughly enjoyed every moment of this book.

Poverty that is a novel - a novel that explains s poetry

This book is a tour de force of fantasy and psychology of insight and foresight. A joy to read and a joy to hear. Unremittingly dark and extremely hopeful. Give it time, let it unfold, and you’ll be glad you did.
