Hannah Ross: The Last Outpost: An Antarctic Dystopia

He was not afraid. From his experience, humans were far more deadly than ancient sea dragons — and humans, he hoped, had nearly exhausted their capacity for self-destruction… at least for a while. The danger had passed. All was well, and safe, and secure in this little corner of the world that had become his home.

Tomorrow, he would start digging in the rich dark earth to lay the foundation for a new extension to Tahan’s house. Hopefully, they would need it soon, with the arrival of the children they were both hoping for. The crops would grow. The land and water would continue to yield their bounty of fish and game. And the cycle of life would continue.

Writing this book has involved a great deal of reading and research on the geography, topography, climate, ecology, flora and fauna of Antarctica in general and Ross Island in particular. For a while, I virtually lived at the McMurdo research station, wishing to make my setting as realistic as possible. It is important to remember, however, that this book is a science fiction novel, and as such, there are some things I naturally bent to fit the plot and premise.

I cannot conclude without expressing my admiration of all the brave men and women living and working out there on the edge of the world.

If you enjoyed this book, I would really appreciate it if you take a few minutes to review it on Amazon or Goodreads, mention it on your social media, and recommend it to your friends. Reviews and word of mouth are incredibly important to authors, being the one most genuine and reliable vehicle of helping a book reach more readers.
