Description for Last Stop, The
Paperback. An alien race on Jupiter's moon Europa has traveled the galaxy and achieved immortality by downloading themselves into an inorganic form, but needs the help of a teenage boy on Earth to save both worlds. Num Pages: 288 pages. BIC Classification: YFG. Category: (Y) Teenage / Young Adult. Dimension: 142 x 218 x 25. Weight in Grams: 282.
The Last Stop asks the question: What happens when Evolution ends? It's Ender's Game meets Close Encounter of the Third Kind - a character-driven action packed drama first set in a high school suffused with emerging sexuality and a strict pecking order, followed by wild flying saucer rides to the dark side of the moon, and then to a city under the ice on Europa where seemingly anything is possible. Mature Sci-Fi devotees will appreciate The Last Stop's hardcore science and philosophy. Young adult readers will enjoy its fast-paced action, stunning visual imagery, three-dimensional characters, teenage protagonists and just the right dash of humor. Who says a feelgood story can't be classic Sci Fi?

Reviews for Last Stop, The
I really enjoyed this book immensely. It was a fast paced read and very exiting as well. I enjoyed the fact that the four teens in the book reaction to their situation was authentic. I have a teenager myself and she would love this book. I did feel the Close Encounters vibe to the book as stated in it description and didn't waste time diving into the book. I didn't want to put it down. It was a story of an encounter with intelligent life and their journey learning from on another. It has great characters that I'm sure will be relatable to many. The dialogue took the reader on a journey that was both interesting interesting and exciting. I was given a copy of this by the publisher and their partnership with Netgalley in return for my honest review.
Tina R Netgalley I found this coming of age tale to be enjoyable and full of adventure, all seen through the eyes of youth. The pace was steady, the plot poignant and engaging - though a bit fantastical, and the characters likeable. Through the tale we get to see them grow and mature through their experiences. This was a fun read, and I would definitely recommend.
