THE LAST - HANNA JAMESON KARTONIERT (TB)

For fans of high-concept thrillers such as Annihilation and The Girl with All the Gifts  this
breathtaking dystopian psychological thriller follows an American academic stranded at a Swiss
hotel as the world descends into nuclear war-along with twenty other survivors-who becomes
obsessed with identifying a murderer in their midst after the body of a young girl is
discovered in one of the hotel's water tanks. Jon thought he had all the time in the world to
respond to his wife's text message: I miss you so much. I feel bad about how we left it. Love
you. But as he's waiting in the lobby of the L'Hotel Sixieme in Switzerland after an academic
conference  still mulling over how to respond to his wife  he receives a string of horrifying
push notifications. Washington  DC has been hit with a nuclear bomb  then New York  then London
and finally Berlin. That's all he knows before news outlets and social media goes black-and
before the clouds on the horizon turn orange. Now  two months later  there are twenty survivors
holed up at the hotel  a place already tainted by its strange history of suicides and murders.
Those who can't bear to stay commit suicide or wander off into the woods. Jon and the others
try to maintain some semblance of civilization. But when the water pressure disappears  and Jon
and a crew of survivors investigate the hotel's water tanks  they are shocked to discover the
body of a young girl. As supplies dwindle and tensions rise  Jon becomes obsessed with
investigating the death of the little girl as a way to cling to his own humanity. Yet the real
question remains: can he afford to lose his mind in this hotel  or should he take his chances
in the outside world?
