___________ The First Rule is the most important: 'Always run  never fight'. For 3000 years
Mia's family has shaped Earth's history to push humanity to the stars  making brutal  wrenching
choices along the way. And now  in the year of 1968  Mia finds herself about to help launch the
first people into space. She can't take them to the stars  not quite yet. But with her
adversary almost upon her  and with the future of the planet at stake  one thing is becoming
clearer: Obeying the First Rule is no longer an option. For the first time since her line's
first generation  Mia will have to choose to stand her ground. But the overwhelming odds mean
that she risks not only her bloodline  but also the future of the human race . . . ___________
Fast and darkly satirical  Until the Last of Me is the thrilling alternate history of the 1960s
space race in which the struggle isn't to be the first to the stars - but the last one
standing. Praise for Sylvain Neuvel 'It's fascinating to see how Neuvel weaves together fact
and fiction . . . a blast. Seriously clever' SFX 'An alt-history with a difference. Traces the
true story of the development of rocket science but adds an alien-conspiracy-theory edge . . .
Good fun' Guardian 'Wry narration  wired action . . . Fans of alternate history and intelligent
sci-fi will love this' Publishers Weekly
