Never read anything else from this universe and this dosent inspire me to do so.
Story about the end of the world, loss of a pet and coping with that grief.
It was unique and I really wanted to like it more but it just didn't hit right.

Lovely little novelette about the grief of losing a beloved pet. I was a little bored at times, but it was very sweet.

This was ok...probably my least favorite in this series but one of the more likeable characters.

In a world where space travel is possible, what do you do to cope with the loss of a pet? This story right here.
A relatable slice of life story, tied to a bigger universe. While this was my first story in this universe, I felt compelled to read more

This book feels like a tv pilot. It hits all of the plot lines, but has no real substantiates. It truly feels like this book was only written so it could sell the idea for a story.
Which saddens me because I love the ideas in the book, but not a single idea if fleshed out and just leaves you wanting more.
I don't recommended this book, unless you really want to kill 1-2 hours of time.

Very interesting sci-fi fantasy
I enjoyed reading The Last Astronaut, it’s well-written and has a beautiful, hear-warming tale that underlies the main story.

This short story takes takes in the De-Evolution universe. It follows a man who answers the ad of a billionaire to travel to the edge of the solar system and be the last astronaut.
The stories from the De-Evolution series focus on the characters and how they deal with the loss all around them and the inescapable extinction of the human race.
The main character chose to leave Earth to escape the profundness of his own personal loss. As much as I enjoy, and will continue to enjoy, the De-Evolution stories, this one did not particularly hit home for me. I wasn't able to empathize with his particular loss and the choice he made as a result.

I nearly cried twice while reading this book - and it's a short one. Now I just want to sit in silence and think about it.
Yes, it's basically a love song to a cat by an astronaut after he lost him, and who happens to think that this loss is larger than the fact that the human race is going extinct. But it's also a very poignant and deep story about grieving and coming to terms with loss, friendship and love. And also a tale about the Solar system. It's an unusual book, but I honestly will not forget it anytime soon. It will give you the feels, and if you've lost a close friend in your life, especially a pet friend... you will bawl your eyes out.
I think this was a freebie. I was lucky.
