WebSally Jansen was NASA's leading astronaut, until a mission to Mars ended in disaster. Haunted by her failure, she lives in quiet anonymity, convinced her days in space are over. She's wrong. A large alien object has entered the solar system on a straight course toward Earth. It has made no attempt to communicate. WebThe Last Astronaut is an interesting twist on the desperate-NASA-mission-to-save-Earth (a la Armageddon/Deep Impact) and alien-first-contact scifi concept. The details about how astronauts work in space add great flavor. I enjoyed the book very much. My main critique are the epistolary-ish asides.
