The universe may have started with a big bang, but the end will be much quieter. The Final Fifteen is an action-adventure sci-fi fantasy that takes the reader not just to the end of the world, but to the other side. Annabelle Etolea grew up the daughter of famed astronaut, Gordon Etolea. His space voyages were legendary and for much of her life, he remained just that: a legend. It was only after her mother passed suddenly from a long-time illness that the two finally had no choice but to look to each other. Now, just as Annabelle is becoming a woman herself, her father hopes to instill in her a sense of passion and focus. She has been chosen as the first civilian to travel to the space station Alphoria. Alphoria: man’s next great leap into the stars. Not only is it a place of science, but a giant megastructure capable of housing communities and places to work, shop, and live. Like many of humanity’s advancements, they no longer have a choice. The world is sick. Albert Noriasin is Annabelle’s childhood friend, as well the source of a good deal of her recent anxiety. The boy she thought she knew will be the man who leads her into a sweeping journey that only fifteen can survive. There are things in the stars that watch back. There are parts of our history not yet understood. The world stands at its final moments, and it will take every bond the two of them have formed to see it through to the other side. History might be repeating itself, but for some, it’s the first time. Hold on. Only fifteen will make it: those final few. The Final Fifteen.
