LAST

The latest adventure from James Matlack Raney

Young Win grows up knowing only the small farm where he lives with his mother and father. He has no other neighbors. No other friends. No other people. The world beyond is a mystery. A world of of danger. A world of robots.

When tragedy strikes the farm, Win is at last left completely alone. Forced to leave the safety of home, he sets out for the robot city on a quest to seek out the legendary AIs, picking up two companions along the way: an orphaned wild dog and an irrepressibly optimist robotic signpost. But when the three of them become prisoners in the robot city, Will will not only seek to escape, but also to find the answer to the world's final question: are there any humans like him left, or is he truly the Last?

Filled with hardship and hope, darkness and light, despair and victory, LAST is the story of a boy learning what it means to live as flesh and blood in a world of steel and circuits, to break through barriers built around us and those we build for ourselves, to know the frailty and wonder it is to be human.
