The Last 8

By: Laura Pohl

Narrated by: Cynthia Farrell

Clover Martinez has always been a survivor, which is the only reason she isn't among the dead when aliens invade and destroy Earth as she knows it. When she hears an inexplicable radio message, she's shocked to learn there are other survivors - and that they're all at the former Area 51.

When she arrives, she's greeted by a band of misfits who call themselves the Last Teenagers on Earth. Only they aren't the ragtag group of heroes Clover was expecting. The group seems more interested in hiding than fighting back, and Clover starts to wonder if she was better off alone.

But then she finds a hidden spaceship, and she doesn't know what to believe...or who to trust.

Originality of the story

Thought this was great because it was different. Best part - aliens were like bees but not bugs or spiders!!! Finally!

Awesome story, not so good narration

The whole concept of the story (very Independence Day) is pretty cool. I’m about halfway through now and the only thing I’m having trouble with is the narrator. She’s relatively dry, which I can reconcile to keep listening, but her voices for the other characters are AWFUL!! Almost to the point where I’m laughing at how absurd she sounds. Halfway through I just want to beg her to read the whole darn thing in her normal voice.
