SUNYI DEAN__________A dying universe. A search for answers. An adventure at the end of a trillion lifetimes. Scout is an archivist, searching the dead worlds of the cosmos for clues as to the fate of all these lost civilisations. While exploring another lifeless planet they discover something unbelievable: a message from a witness to that worlds-ending entity thousands of years ago. But uncovering the story and staying one step ahead of the profit-hungry corporation on their trail won't be easy. Together with their brother and sometimes-fearless, space-faring cat Pumpkin, Scout must now race to save what matters most. __________'A science fiction novel that will repair your soul with its beautiful, uplifting earnestness in the face of true peril' NADIA EL-FASSI'I smiled, I cried, and I wanted, desperately, to leave something beautiful behind for the universe' JULES ARBEAUX'Riley August's comfortingly contemplative novel left me feeling more hopeful about my place in the universe' SYLVIE CATHRALL'As sweet as it is sad, as homely as it is strange, The Last Gifts Of The Universe is about the real work of having hope and compassion' ALICE BELL'Somehow both a hauntingly beautiful meditation on grief and loss, as well as a delightful space-faring romp...I'm honestly in awe.'
