The Earth lies in ruins in the aftermath of an extraterrestrial invasion, the land devastated by a desperate war with no winners between mankind and a race of vicious, intelligent creatures. The seas are drying up while the atmosphere corrodes and slowly cooks any life remaining on the now desolate rock. Food is scarce, trust even more so, and the only people left alive all have done horrific things to stay that way.

Among the few survivors is Lucas, an ordinary man hardened by the last few years after the world's end. He's fought off bandits, murderers, and stranded creatures on his long trek across the country in search of his family, the one thing that drives him to outlive his dying planet. What he finds instead is hope, something thought to be lost in the world. There's a ship buried in a crater wall. One of theirs. One that works. To fly it, Lucas must join forces with a traitorous alien scientist and a captured, merciless raider named Asha. But unless they find common ground, all will die, stranded on a ruined Earth.

Combining gritty post-apocalyptic survival and epic space opera, The Last Exodus is the beginning of a new action-packed science fiction adventure where the future of the human race depends on its survivors leaving the past behind.

Worthy Tale But Not for the Faint of Heart

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2019

The Last Exodus by Paul Tassi
This is the start of a series: "The Earthborn Trilogy Book 1."

The basic story is classic sci/fi: an alien invasion (from space -- not Mexico!), a no-holds-barred war, and an exodus from earth by three human survivors aided by a friendly alien.

The cast of characters is small: Lucas and Asha, hardened twenty-something survivors, a child they call "Noah," and an alien creature named "Alpha." Oh - and an evil alien boss named "Omicron." Earth is destroyed and the pitiful survivors are doomed to die. Alpha offers to take them to a habitable planet in a distant solar system.

What I Liked:
The author is a good writer in that he has put together an interesting tale. The few characters are all believable. They have strengths and weaknesses and are continually adapting, growing, and learning. The dialogue is natural-sounding. There is a rather tasteful sex scene and a minimum of salty language. If this deserves an "R" rating it is for violence and not sex. The ending was well-handled. Clearly, there is more to be told in a following tale, yet the novel ends in a satisfying way. Editing, while not perfect, is well above average.

What I Did Not Like:
I suppose that this is my own fault. The book blurb was clear that Earth is doomed. I picked up the book knowing that. But when it became clear that Earth is REALLY doomed and that every living thing, including cockroaches, is going to die--well, I did not like that. Really. Did. Not. Like.

Yes, three people survive. But that is it. This is dystopian with a capital "D"!! I was actually surprised at the strength of my negative reaction. This book is dark. Very Dark.

I was not enchanted by Lucas and Asha, either. They seemed to have lost their humanity and spend a good part of the book killing the few human survivors without mercy. The only moral scruple they seem to have left is that they refuse to commit cannibalism. I warmed up to them very gradually.

Be aware, though, that nobility and selflessness do not kick in very much. Though there are signs of human kindness in the latter chapters, they were a long time in coming. What I am saying is that this book is much darker than the classic space opera from the golden age of sci/fi.

One reviewer pointed out several logical impossibilities. I can confirm that they are there, but they did not spoil the read.

Conclusion:
If you have the fortitude to endure a dark, dark, dystopian novel where good news is in short supply, then you might find this to your liking. I am not sorry that I read the book. But if I had understood how I was going to react I would have passed it by. It is a worthy tale, but not for the faint of heart.

A solid book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2013

Overall, I have to say this is a great read. It moves along at a brisk pace, the characters are interesting and nuanced, the plot is solidly constructed and enjoyable. I'll go ahead and get my quibbles out of the way first:

- Several mysteries are introduced and revealed in short order. This is a bit of a letdown. Want to know what is in mysterious box A? Don't worry, it will be revealed in about 3 chapters.
- I might be alone in this, but I wouldn't have minded if the book had spent more time on post-apocalyptic Earth. The sci-fi adventure angle gets up and running pretty quickly. It's a good angle but it is hard to resonate with the plight of Earth when we spend so little time there.
- I'm speculating, but Paul seems to have really wanted to keep the cast tight, so pretty much every other character they meet is evil. This strikes me as a bit of overkill but understandable from a plot point.
- Also, the big reveal at the end fell flat for me as I feel the book did not focus on setting up that mystery well. Basically, I felt like the book answered a question I wasn't particularly asking.

Alright, quibbles aside, this is a book worth reading. Especially for a first entry, it is just an entertaining read and I could easily see this book being made into a movie, and a good one. The interactions between the characters have to be one of the best facets of the book and you will find yourself rooting for them to get out of increasingly difficult situations. If anything, Paul has set the bar high for the sequel as by the end of the book the characters have already overcome quite a lot and also made some serious character development strides. It is the kind of book that keeps you turning the pages and wondering what will happen next and that is the best kind.

Very good, but e-price too high

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2018

I'm no stranger to Sci-Fi, so it's not often I find myself really enjoying a book rather than just reading to satisfy the craving... know what I mean? I liked this one a lot and thought the author had found some interesting ways to spin his characters and make them just that bit different.

To the reviewers which criticize by stating "Oh, another alien invasion, post-apocalypse story..." I have to say "That's the sub-genre(s) of this story!" Hey - with any genre stories it's kind of like music... when it comes right down to it, there aren't any rock songs these days that haven't essentially already been written many times before, so what counts is the INTERPRETATION. The stylistic spin. The execution. The twist. The detail. The tone.

One complaint, however. I bought this book and its unknown (to me) author when it was offered on a deal for $1.99. After reading it and deciding I'd go for the next book in the series, I see its follow-on is $9.99. That's quite a jump. Especially for an author of Mr. Tassi's current stature. If the remaining books were, say, a more usual $4.99 I'd be all over them, but as it stands I'll be waiting until the price moves to a more reasonable level. BTW, that cost (bad pun) the review its fifth star.

Good read.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2018

It is an excellent first book. The story is great, though the pacing falters at times where more time should have been taken for consistent reader experience. I was a bitnput off by the casual, naked violence and how it was depicted. I can understand that might have been intended because of the scenario involved, but the brutality was callous, and that's a limit I don't like to cross even as a vet. The storybwas somewhat predictable, but that doesn't take away from the experience but offered a comfortable trip into this new universe. I do wish more gravitas and import was given to the trauma these individuals are facing. They lost some of their humanity with the missing weight upon their minds from what they're experiencing. I do recommend the book overall and plan to read the sequel. Oh, I also very much appreciate that the sexual content was minimal and not turned into a porn scene, a rather moral presentation considering what most scifi is becoming.

Excellent Sci-fi Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I don’t particularly read much Sci-fi books, never mind fiction, but since I read Paul Tassi’s articles on Forbes. I thought I will give the sci-fi series a try. I definition wasn’t disappointed. Well written and well developed, the story goes to some unexpected places such as Norway, continuing on from that, the characters feel like they are human; Lucas, and Asha play important roles after the Earth invasion from the Xalans in which a scientist named Alpha from the Xalan planet basically has the Earth’s equivalent to human compassion, encompassing on a tremendous attempt to escape undetected from the rulers of Xalan, the gang attempt to travel to a Human-like planet with similar species as Human but have subtle difference such as two less rib-cages and one less kidney called Sora. However, the gang encounter problems on the way with a shadow Xalan (an advanced species of Xalan) called Omicron whom eventually in end, dies in a unpredictable way. I thoroughly enjoyed pacing through the book. One of the best sci-fi books so far that I’ve read and I am looking forward to reading the next two books of the series. Recommended read, regardless if you are a casual or hardcore Sci-fi book reader.

Overpriced sequel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 4, 2020

Really enjoyed this book and was eager to read the sequel. However not at almost £10 ! For a Kindle edition? I could buy 3 other books for this price. Shame . The author will lose out in the long run. Not fast in monetary terms, but also in following.

A deceptively good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

starting out as apparently fairly straightforward apocalyptic tale, I almost gave up on this book. I am very glad I did not as it soon transcended into anything but straightforward. Great characterisation , a pretty impressive and convoluted plot with erstwhile enemies collaborating for their mutual benefit.

I was going to buy the second book in the series immediately after finishing this one but I refuse to pay over £9 for an electronic book. Please don't rip off enthusiastic readers!

Last remaining humans are saved

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 13, 2017

Interesting story of the few remaining people on a dying earth after alien attack. The story takes a big turn and opens out into a massive scifi extravaganza. I will look forward to reading further into the series. The reason I did not give a 5 was that the aliens suddenly went from an invincible force that could not be defeated by all of earths military to a bunch of clones that were butchered by a few and this didn't quite sit right with me. Having said that if this had not happened then there would not be a book

Spoilt this trilogy through sheer greed!

Shame I won’t be buying parts 2 and 3 given the inflated prices charged by the publisher etc as this is a really good well written book. So author and publisher if you want more readers drop the price. Don’t you understand basic economics?
