For the First Time, Again (Take Them to the Stars, #3)

"Exciting, thought-provoking, and ultimately shocking...I'm in for the ride to the very end!" —James Rollins on A History of What Comes Next Against the backdrop of authentic historical events, Sylvain Neuvel concludes his acclaimed Take Them to the Stars series with a biting satire on the role of authority in all its guises, bringing us a truly breathtaking science fiction trilogy that spans the ages. When you don't know The Rules it's hard to stay safe. After a traumatic incident, Aster's blood work comes back with some unusual readings. Unsurprising, as she's the last of an alien race called the Kibsu, though she doesn't know it. She becomes the focus of a hunt, with her mortal enemies, the Trackers, on one side, and the American government on the other. But help has come from a most unexpected quarter. Whoever finds her first, it won't be good news for Aster. Or for the world! Also Available by Sylvain Neuvel: Take Them to the Stars series: 1. A History of What Comes Next 2.

Until the Last of Me The Test Aster believes she is a normal teenage girl - she is very wrong . . . Teenager Aster barely escapes with her life when her adoptive father is killed in a shooting. Suddenly finding herself under the protection of a special US military unit, she learns that blood tests indicate that she's not even human. Unsure who or what she might be - or if any of this is true - Aster's first instinct is to flee. Unfortunately, she soon finds she is caught between two warring sides: on one, her mortal enemies, the alien Trackers, and on the other, the American government. Then, from the most unexpected quarter, she finds someone offering to help her - someone her instincts tell her can't be trusted . . . Now Aster can be certain of just two things: her blood is more vital than she ever knew and the fate of the world rests upon her survival.
