The Last One: A Novel

Survival is the name of the game as the line blurs between reality TV and reality itself in Alexandra Olivaâ€™s fast-paced novel of suspense.

She wanted an adventure. She never imagined it would go this far.
Â
It begins with a reality TV show.Â Twelve contestants are sent into the woods to face challenges that will test the limits of their endurance. While they are out there, something terrible happensâ€”but how widespread is the destruction, and has it occurred naturally or is it man-made? Cut off from society, the contestants know nothing of it. When one of themâ€”a young woman the showâ€™s producers call Zooâ€”stumbles across the devastation, she can imagine only that it is part of the game.
Â
Alone and disoriented, Zoo is heavy with doubt regarding the lifeâ€”and husbandâ€”she left behind, but she refuses to quit. Staggering countless miles across unfamiliar territory, Zoo must summon all her survival skillsâ€”and learn new ones as she goes.
Â
But as her emotional and physical reserves dwindle, she grasps that the real world might have been altered in terrifying waysâ€”and her ability to parse the charade will be either her triumph or her undoing.
Â
Sophisticated and provocative, The Last One is a novel that forces us to confront the role that media plays in our perception of what is real: how readily we cast our judgments, how easily we are manipulated.
