A chilling vision of the dying light of humanity, an insightful examination of the frailty of mankind.When sophisticated drone spacecraft mysteriously decide to refuse to complete a commercial mining mission in the far reaches of the solar system, three of the largest spacecraft ever created embark to complete the lucrative venture, and possibly determine what made the drones disobey their orders in the first place. The largest of the three ships is commanded by Slade Hobart. Never comfortable on Earth or Mars, she relishes her multi-year commission and the far reaching powers granted her over every single life of those on board her ship, including a terminally ill teenage stowaway with a brilliant intellect, and prophetic visions of the end of man.From their lofty perch they watch as the home worlds tear themselves apart, leaving her ship stranded and helpless, set upon a course for the end of everything. The only record that will be left of the final days of man's existence in the universe will be Slade's handwritten journal, penned in the loneliness of her reign as the last human alive.Reminiscent of classics like, "Solaris", "2001 : A Space Odyssey", and "The Lord of the Flies", Edward Varga creates a gripping story that begs the reader to ask what the end will be like for the last of us, and if we are ready to face what comes next.
