Amazing!! One of the most deep ideas of life is explored, draped in a cleverly written sci-fi thriller. It is not enforced as a chilly or rant dissertation, but as to its impact on relating ideas. It breathes, it adores, it weeps, and it embodies one great question,"... becoming," but it also contributes, belonging. Not only was this necessary, it is essential. Oh, and it's a quick read, too. A very nice one. ~ Emilee Taylor (Reviewer), NetGalley

Praise for The Last Stop (Book 1): Burnam has fashioned a tale in which an alien race sees us as its last hope. They're not looking for some life-saving substance, or to suck our brains out through straws. They need us - and not just anybody, but our young people to... well, why spoil it? See for yourself in this tale of teen life and love in 21st century LA, meeting and saving alien beings desperate to have what we've got. ~ Harold Rabinowitz, Winner, First Runner-Up Citation, Pulitzer Prize

The Last Stop launches with a mystery that rides on a youthful sense of wonder and curiosity as did J.J. Abrams’ Super 8. The adventure travels into new territory on the power of daring speculation and scientific accuracy that take voyagers beyond the ambiguity of 2001: A Space Odyssey. NASA’S current inclusion of a Europa mission makes The Last Stop feel prescient and real. ~ Michael C Green, Veteran Television Network Producer and Studio Executive, The Matrix Reloaded, Superman, Clear and Present Danger

A refreshing change-of-pace novel about a group of teens who accept the challenge of a dying race and save two worlds, theirs and ours, in an ET-type thriller that explores the proper use of power. ~ John Nelson, author of Matrix of the Gods, and I, Robot

I really enjoyed this book immensely. It was a fast paced read and very exiting as well. I enjoyed the fact that the four teens in the book reaction to their situation was authentic. I have a teenager myself and she would love this book. I did feel the Close Encounters vibe to the book as stated in it description and didn't waste time diving into the book. I didn't want to put it down. It was a story of an encounter with intelligent life and their journey learning from on another. It has great characters that I'm sure will be relatable to many. The dialogue took the reader on a journey that was both interesting interesting and exciting. ~ Tina R, NetGalley

The Last Stop by Michael Burnam was a very engaging read from the very beginning. It told a story about four teens and some aliens, which was quite interesting... Together the teens and the aliens go on an adventure that allows them to see the human race through another species eyes. By doing so, the teens learn more about themselves, regular humans, as well as the universe itself. Over all, The Last Stop was a great read that engages readers in many different ways. I can very much see this book as the beginning of a wonderful series... ~ Midwest Book Reviews
