5.0 out of 5 stars A "last one alive" competition to see who saves the universe
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020

I loved this story and the illustrations. Also I liked the steampunk-style transportation system. Several people, from several walks of life, join a competition - the winner gets two benefits: Save the universe, and have the life expectancy extended to over 1000 years. What's to stop them? Oh, only razor-sharp shards, giant bats, giant scorpions, a giant flaming bird, and extreme weather, not to mention some skullduggery. And it must be done before sunrise. Those who win, did so by their skills and some luck, those who lost - died (or worse...). Best Sci-fi story I've read in some time.
