The Last Memory of Earth by Joey Stardust is a haunting, cinematic space epic ? a story of extinction, survival, and the impossible hope that memory can outlast annihilation.

The Earth is dying. Not from plague or pollution, but from the K'tharr ? a species of chitinous, insectoid harvesters who descend in silence and leave nothing but hollowed cities and oceans of ash. They do not invade. They consume. Their drills pierce bone and steel alike, feeding on the psychic echoes of the dying ? harvesting the last memories of their prey.

Amid the collapse, Kaelen "Kael" Rourke, pilot of the transport ship Windrunner, carries the last cargo humanity has left to give ? five hundred and thirty-seven children bound for orbit aboard the Odyssey, a desperate attempt to preserve the species before Earth is consumed. But as the skies burn and the last bastions fall, Kael discovers that survival itself has become a moral choice. The enemy doesn't just want humanity's bodies ? it wants their minds, their fear, their stories.

Above the dying world, the last remnants of the Earth Consolidated Network fight to maintain contact, broadcasting fragments of language, music, and memory into the void. These are humanity's final transmissions ? and in them lies the seed of something unexpected: the K'tharr aren't conquerors. They are tools. They harvest consciousness not for themselves, but for a force greater and older ? a cosmic Archivist collecting the echoes of dying worlds to preserve them from a spreading annihilation known only as the Void.

When Kael's mission collides with the truth behind the Harvest, he must choose between the survival of a few or the remembrance of all. His decision will forge the foundation of a new civilization ? one that will become the Rememberers, charged with preserving life's stories before the stars go silent.

The Last Memory of Earth is both intimate and vast ? a tale of desperate defiance told through human eyes gazing into the infinite. Joey Stardust blends the visceral tension of alien invasion horror with the philosophical sweep of space opera, crafting a world where technology and biology merge, and where the cost of remembrance may be the soul itself.

Through Kael's journey ? from the ruins of London to the final battle aboard the living ship Oath of Cradle ? the novel explores what it means to remember when forgetting would be easier, and how the ghosts of a dead planet might become the architects of a new dawn.

For readers of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Peter F. Hamilton, and Alastair Reynolds, The Last Memory of Earth is the beginning of an unforgettable saga ? one that asks the oldest question of all:
If everything ends, what part of us deserves to remain?

When the skies burn, and the stars go silent, humanity's last defiance is not survival.
It's remembrance.
