![]() ![]() Alan Dean Foster is also a popular Star Wars novelist (he wrote The Force Awakens novelization), so I thought his writing and pacing (and so on) would be worth reading. I’m not usually one for male protagonists or male POVs, but I thought this would be an exception. ![]() I love aliens, and space, and dystopia-like devastations. Now, the idea that only one human (supposedly) survives a plague which otherwise has extinguished the human race (across not just continents or even planets, but whole galaxies!) is totally up my alley. Along the way, Ruslan encounters quite a few surprises. ![]() They study him for a few more decades before Ruslan gets it into his head to search out humanity’s birthplace, Earth. The Myssari are tripeds – they have three legs and three arms, and they’re kind of triangular in shape. He lives on a human-colonized planet called Seraboth, and he survives there for a few decades before an alien race finds him. He’s middle-aged, and for whatever reason, he’s immune to the Aura Malignance. The synopsis goes a little something like this: after a galaxy-wide (well, universe-wide) plague (engineered by humans themselves) sweeps through the human population, killing basically 99.9999% of people, one human remains: Ruslan. ![]() I received an ARC ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
