Harry Hartog's review
This is such a cute and interesting little space adventure! The idea of space archaeologists and their cat running around alien civilisations was so intriguing and I am so glad I read this! The characters were well written and Pumpkin the cat is iconic. I feel that this is a space version of the popular cat fiction books and I am HERE for it! Even though it was only short the world and story was so complete I couldn’t have asked for anything more - except a sequel!!! - Rohan, Harry Hartog Macquarie
Description
A hopeful science fiction adventure, that explores what it means to live in a finite universe - while occasionally having to clean cat vomit off your spaceship.
A dying universe. A search for answers. An adventure at the end of a trillion lifetimes.
When the home worlds finally achieved the technology to venture out into the stars, they found a graveyard of dead civilisations. What befell these worlds is unknown. All they know is that they are the last ones left - and whatever came for the others will one day come for them.
Scout is an Archivist who scours the dead worlds of the cosmos for their last gifts- interesting technology, cultural rituals - anything left behind that might be useful to home and their survival. During an excavation on a lifeless planet, Scout unearths something unbelievable- a surviving message from an alien who witnessed the world-ending entity thousands of years ago.
Now Scout, their brother and their sometimes-fearless, space-faring cat, Pumpkin, must race to save what matters most.
