Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2020!
"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)
What the critics say
"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)

“Annihilation” in space
Not terrible, but there’s nothing original here. The characters are somewhat flat. The narrator is very good, however.

I struggled staying interested throughout the entire book and the narrators voice didnt clearly differentiate between the characters.
