"A terrifying tour de force." (James Rollins)
"Readers will be riveted." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Sally Jansen was NASA's leading astronaut, until a mission to Mars ended in disaster. Haunted by her failure, she lives in quiet anonymity, convinced her days in space are over.
She's wrong.
A large alien object has entered the solar system on a straight course toward Earth. It has made no attempt to communicate. Out of time and out of options, NASA turns to Jansen. But as the object reveals its secrets, Jansen and her crew find themselves in a desperate struggle for survival - against the cold vacuum of space and something far, far worse....
"Breathless, compulsive reading." (Christopher Golden)
"A suspenseful, fast-paced story of first contact." (Kirkus)

Reseñas de la Crítica
"A gripping story that reveals its horrors one inexorable, plausible detail at a time. Readers will be riveted - and will want to keep all the lights on." (Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The Last Astronaut bridges the worlds of science fiction and horror perfectly--Wellington melds the awe of discovery with the terror of the unknown to keep readers riveted to every page." (Fred Van Lente, New York Times best-selling author of The Con Artist)
"If Stephen King had written a haunted house story set in space, it would look very much like The Last Astronaut. Written with an uncompromising, white-knuckled pace, here is book that will leave you shaking and looking at the cold depths of space with equal parts horror and wonder." (James Rollins, number one New York Times best-selling author of Crucible)

Her ability to switch voices was quite impressive and I always knew who was talking, male or female. The interstitial elements (flashback type things) were nicely differentiated by tone and sound effects so they didn't confuse things. The overall production and quality was top notch, some of the best I've enjoyed on Audible. It's no Rendezvous with Rama (hint!), but gems like that are rare. I agree with an Amazon review saying it is made for the screen. This is a good story and a great performance which makes it recommended for the entertainment value. Killer for a long road trip!
Nice production, excellent performance.

I think if you go into this book while thinking about the original Alien movie you'll enjoy it more. That movie didn't have tons of character depth but it also wasn't about the characters so much as the situation they were in. Like the movie this book is also focused on the situation and encounter mostly which makes it a bit rough because in a book you want depth and character exploration. I mean, you're investing hours and hours and hours so it should offer more.
That said, make this into a movie and it's probably 10/10. I do recommend the book overall especially since there is very little in the space horror genre but go into it with the proper expectations. It's a story about an alien encounter, not individual people and who they really are even though it does *try* to explore them.
Overall: fantastic concept, great descriptions of this alien encounter, very good narration overall, very unique story, but not very good character development or even character exploration. I didn't dislike the ending like some others but that's going to be more subjective than the other criticisms.
Great concept but agree with others on the characters
