Book description
Dear Diary,
March 15th, 2024
I just finished listening to The Last Human and I'm still grinning like an idiot. Zack Jordan has crafted something genuinely special here.
Sarya's voice in audio format is absolutely captivating-there's something wonderfully intimate about hearing her navigate the chaos of Watertower Station while trying to pass as just another alien among hundreds of species. The narrator captures her exasperation perfectly when she's dealing with her adoptive mother's tendency to "casually eviscerate neighbors." You can practically hear the eye-rolling.
What struck me most was how Jordan balances the cosmic mystery of humanity's extinction with Sarya's very personal struggle. The audiobook format really emphasizes the loneliness of her situation-being possibly the last human in existence while surrounded by the chatter of countless alien species on the space station. When that bounty hunter encounter finally happens (oh, that miles-long kinetic projectile!), the sound design had me holding my breath.
The supporting cast is where this audiobook truly shines. A rebellious spacesuit with attitude? Check. An android death enthusiast on his sixtieth lifetime? Brilliantly voiced. And don't get me started on the ball of fluff with an IQ in the thousands-some of the best comedic timing I've heard in an audiobook.
Jordan sneaks profound questions about perspective, intelligence, and free will into what feels like a rollicking space adventure. The idea that vast alien intellects might be playing a cosmic game with Sarya's very existence as humanity's last hope is genuinely thought-provoking.
This debut grabbed my attention from the first chapter and didn't let go. Highly recommended for anyone who loves their space opera with heart, humor, and philosophical depth.
