The Last Gifts of the Universe
By Riley August
This is a debut sci-fi novel.
A group of space archaeologists are looking through the remains of dead civilizations in the hope of finding some clues as to why they died out. The problem being that big business is also trying to get to the relics from these civilisations in order to make a profit out of them. Add to that, there is something out there that is busy killing off civilizations, non of them seem to have found a way to stop whatever it is, anyone who comes up against it dies. So the race would appear to be, to find the answer to the question, how do we stop it before it gets to us and we become another dead civilization.
It is an interesting idea, and the archaeologists cat is not just there to de-stress, but I was rather hoping that they would come up with some answers, or at least some idea as to who or what they were fighting. Still, it is a good yarn and keeps you interested to the end. I wish Riley August all the best for their next novel.
