Science Fiction Suspense/Thriller
Survival is the name of the game as the line blurs
between reality TV and reality itself in Alexandra Oliva’s
fast-paced novel of suspense. She wanted an adventure. She never imagined it would go this
far. It begins with a reality TV show. Twelve contestants are
sent into the woods to face challenges that will test the
limits of their endurance. While they are out there,
something terrible happens—but how widespread is the
destruction, and has it occurred naturally or is it
man-made? Cut off from society, the contestants know nothing
of it. When one of them—a young woman the show’s producers
call Zoo—stumbles across the devastation, she can imagine
only that it is part of the game. Alone and disoriented, Zoo is heavy with doubt regarding the
life—and husband—she left behind, but she refuses to quit.
Staggering countless miles across unfamiliar territory, Zoo
must summon all her survival skills—and learn new ones as
she goes. But as her emotional and physical reserves dwindle, she
grasps that the real world might have been altered in
terrifying ways—and her ability to parse the charade will be
either her triumph or her undoing. Sophisticated and provocative, THE LAST ONE is a novel that
forces us to confront the role that media plays in our
perception of what is real: how readily we cast our
judgments, how easily we are manipulated.
