The Last Immortal: A Novel

by Keith W. Michon

Janus Stone, a 1200 year old immortal, makes a split second decision to irreversibly transform himself into a hologram in a desperate attempt to save his infant son, Chad, and lifelong friend Markus from the attacking Mitel Armada. From the moment their USEP (Universal Speed Escape Pod) leaves planet Thrae for Earth, Janus knows that the relentless Mitel Empire will one day come searching for them to secure the secrets of immortality and Human Hybrid technology. Emperor Zan Liss must choose between carrying out the orders of the brutally repressive Mitel leadership or follow his parent’s footsteps by aiding the growing Mitel resistance. Major Michael Talbot and the United States military continue to search for whom or what survived the USEP crash landing in upstate New York. When the Mitels attack Earth, sixteen year old Chad must use all of his extraordinary powers to attempt to save the planet. With technology on par with The Martian, the buildup of The Last Jedi, and action and suspense, The Last Immortal is a thoroughly enjoyable ride.

[Jan Combs · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Immortal! I will confess that typically I am NOT a lover of science fiction.... however, this book really grabbed me from the very beginning. Not only does it force you to think about the possibilities of life beyond earth but it does so while weaving together a really neat story... complete with adventure and action, including the concepts of immortality and hybrid technology... and a series of interesting subplots. I Highly recommend this thought provoking novel! Who would have thought I would enjoy this science fiction novel so much!
