Staying behind?
A man is told on the last day that humanity exists that he can live on, but he is the only man to receive that offer. But is it really an offer? A simple choice you would think, because who doesn't want to survive? But it all turns out not to be that simple, because the man in question has already lost everyone who meant something to him, so why would he even want to be left behind?
A book that made me think about what life is about, poured into an exciting story.

How many times I can tout the versatility of Joanne Carlton/Sandra J Paul I don't know but with Dust she does it again. This time a story that exudes a science fiction atmosphere due to its post apocalyptic setting. A man must bear the fate of the entire world upon himself. The protagonist's story is very nicely worked out in a series of flashbacks that keep bringing you back to the end of the world. The book grabs you from the first page. There are some nice plottwists in the story that make the reader continue reading the story with attention. It would be an ideal movie for film adaptation. The world outlined is not much different from our own, the big message about how vulnerable we are to changes in the environment is right here. Dust is a great book. A Dutch translation called Onder het zand is in the works. Highly recommended.
