The Last Hope
We thought we were from Earth. We were wrong.By Shaun Rigby
Length10h 30m
About this audiobook
Earth was never humanity’s birthplace.
It was our hiding place.
When Australian SAS soldiers Rosco Martin and Fergie Moore uncover an impossible device beneath the Outback, they trigger a signal buried for sixty-five million years.
Across the world, US archaeologist Dr Elizabeth Jones discovers the same symbols on an artifact recovered beneath Antarctic ice. The markings point beyond Earth—and towards a war erased from human memory.
The signal has already been answered.
Xenari scouts are here. Their armada is coming. Governments are closing ranks, ancient machines are waking, and humanity has no idea why it was hunted in the first place.
To survive, soldiers, scientists and leaders must uncover the truth about the first humans before the enemy finishes what it started.
The Last Hope is a fast-moving military science-fiction thriller combining Australian grit, alien contact and an ancient mystery buried inside humanity’s past.
