What to expect
FEAR THE DARK.
The crew of the Artemis - led by Firewatch agent Alexandra Petrova - have survived the furious onslaught of the Basilisk and broken through the space blockade around Paradise-1. Now they can pursue their original mission and investigate why Earth's first deep space colony has fallen silent.
The answer seems obvious: the site is deserted.
Or so they think.
Some of the colonists remain . . . but they're no longer human.
Petrova and her crew now face a desperate struggle to survive as they attempt to uncover the mystery of what has befallen the colony.
If they fail, the darkness that has fallen over Paradise-1 will consume them.

"Timely and terrifying, The Last Astronaut propels us deep into the mysteries of space for a near-future SF/horror hybrid that's breathless, compulsive reading.
