The Last Safe Place: Book 1 of The Arca Saga

Kapp Adams—a bionic astronaut forced into early retirement after a crash landing—spends his days drinking and womanizing in Las Vegas. Jaded by life on Earth, he jumps at the opportunity to return to space and soon embarks on the mission of a lifetime—to investigate a strange object discovered on the Martian moon Phobos.

Upon waking from stasis eight months into the mission, Kapp discovers that all is not right onboard. From system failures to sabotage, he and the crew must conquer the dangers of outer space to stay alive and complete their mission.

Hopelessly stranded, they choose to risk everything for a chance to get back home. But returning to Earth isn’t the biggest challenge they face…it’s what they encounter when they arrive.

The Last Safe Place is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller where life itself hangs in the balance. Fantastic yet familiar, the near future setting touches on everything from nanotechnology & genetic engineering to cyborgs, aliens & artificial intelligence. This novel is perfect for avid fans of science fiction, but it’s still accessible to readers new to the genre.

"Fierce, frantic, and fun. If Armageddon and The Martian had a baby, then left it to be raised by Jack Ryan, it would look a lot like The Last Safe Place." - Josiah Schotborgh, Editor

"Andy Gorman has penned a captivating novel incorporating elements of reality and fantasy, fear and curiosity, and a contrast between the vast reaches of outer space and the fragility of the inner space within us all." - Ian Maltzman, The Perception Engine

"A bold, imaginative work of fiction, Andy Gorman's foray into novel writing blurs the line between Science Fiction and Fantasy. I couldn't put it down." - Lawren Linehan, Journalist
