This was a fun science fictions adventure of a 17 or Nyxe, who is the last women on earth. She is being helped by a deep character named Guru who also happens to be and A.I. The author has a real talent for drawing the reader in with vivid detail and great storytelling. This was a fully enjoyable read that has a great pace to the conclusion. It wasn't a really long read, but it packed a nice punch and I look forward to reading the next!

It’s certainly a comprehensive and amazingly exciting book to read more than once. The Author needs to know that he created a masterpiece ! I’m sincerely impressed… Wonderful Read !!! Impeccable Story

This was an interesting read although it is not action packed I would say it was more of an intellectual read. The only real action comes in near the end of the book. So this might not appeal to some readers but I found it enjoyable.

The book blurb on Amazon as well as on Goodreads use words like “Sensational #1 All-Star Bestselling…”. I do not know what qualifies as bestselling but I sincerely doubt that this book is really bestselling. It is certainly not sensational and very far from all-star material as far as I am concerned. It can best be describes as a moderately entertaining short novella.
It starts off fairly promising introducing Nyxe as she wakes up to her new world which, so far, consists of herself and a overprotective AI. Nyxe is a genetically altered “superhuman” that was created 400 years ago and put into hypersleep until she could be woken up to rebuild a shattered Earth. So far so good. The spin on this, not entirely original, post-apocalypse story is not bad and the writing and story telling is acceptable at this point.
However then it starts to go downhill. Some spoilers ahead!
Nyxe was supposed to be the only one left but suddenly “test subject #16” pops up. A male of course. Adam and Eve anyone? He was also woken up by the AI. If Nyxe would have discovered some remnant of humanity left on the scorched Earth I would have found it acceptable but the fact that the same AI woke up another genetically modified human just made the story inconsistent. Nyxe was supposed to be the only remaining one remember?
After that the story just continues downhill. The AI behaves stupidly. The, now two, remaining humans engage in the usual nonsensical bickering, jealousy and betrayal. Aliens and galactic conflict threatening what is left of Earth is thrown into the mix and instead of rebuilding Earth Nyxe is flying around the galaxy talking to aliens.
The ending is, well, not exactly surprising and rather meh.
As I wrote the book is moderately entertaining, especially the first half, but with emphasize on moderately. It is a good idea which is rather poorly implemented in the end.

A post apocalyptic novel falls a little flat
Nyxe sounded promising from the description but it fell short of my expectations. With earth's population reduced to one woman and an AI, they seek to rebuild the Earth. However two factions of an alien race plan on a battle that will stomp on the earth.
The characters were 2 dimensional and the dialog forced. The plot also seemed weak and uninspired. Still, I did find the book interesting enough to complete.

Very unique take on AI, an intriguing start to a series, very interested in the next book of the series.

I have no idea how any of the other reviewers gave this awful, predictable rehash of every "last person on earth after the great apocalypse" ever written. I admit, I finished it, in part because it was so awful it was like watching a train wreck, you want to look away, but you can't. I was particularly fascinated by the evidence that the book had not been edited, spell-checked or grammar checked. Well, if it was checked, it was done by a blind illiterate.
I was also taken by the way the author seemed to be just making it up as he went. For instance, Nyxe, or Number 17, is said to be the only survivor of a long cryo-sleep into which were put those who would rebuild the earth after sufficient time had passed. Suddenly, Number 16, a male to Nyxe's female, is alive and thawed out. What then follows is the most bizarre concoction of jealousy, aliens at war, a galactic voyage done in almost no time, and a conclusion that is not only awful, but so easy to see coming that this book could become a cult classic along the lines of the Ed Wood movie, "Plan 9 From Outer Space." That movie is generally considered to be the worst movie ever made. This book may come to hold that distinction in the print fiction medium. I wish I could say it's so bad, it's good, but this is just bad.
I do have one suggestion for the future of this book. It would make a great final exam in a college program on copy editing and proof reading. Let me end this review with a quote that is, I am sad to say, not the worst of the grammatical errors, but more just typical of what any potential reader can expect: "Damned is those who think this is a pain,". Yep, great literature for sure.

All the raving reviews for nothing.
More often then not nowadays, you will read a sci-if that just fails in almost every regard and you can't even finish reading it before you want to write a scathing review.
Unfortunately for the author. This book is such as that. It fails on almost every regard but it had so much potential.
I am not exaggerating the weaknesses of this text.
-Author is clearly conflicted in his philosophical outlook.
-Author treats new born character like a adult who has already experienced many years of life.
-Nyxe falls in love completely contradictory way than the authors philosophical outlook on love. Author is contradicting himself
, first trading love as something more than just affection and emotion then Nyxe falls for the alien because he is essentially charming, friendly....that sounds like seduction to me. Nothing special about being friendly and conversational, or even fun, anyone can do that. Today so many books lack the concept of getting through suffering together is really what bonds people together, they always concentrate on small dumb peripheral things. So this book fails.
-Authors hippy bio-engineering utopian outlook makes not sense.
-Author never properly explains where 16 comes from.
-Author is inconsistent with describing details. Story is rushing after 25%
-Guru makes no sense as to why he does what he does. Conflicting behavior.
-Zed is a bipolar character as well. Randomly gets feelings for Nyxe.
-Author never really explains why Nyxe doesn't love 16 when she first sees him.
-Author never explains what he means when Zed says 16 is a synthetic.
And on and on and on.

Preachy plus magic
SPOILERS: there is an unreliable narrator, and then there is nonsense. After a fine start, this spirals into nonsense. Everyone is dead because of a final human-caused catastrophe. Well, not everyone. There is the one perfected female specimen still alive, But only one. And, possibly, some savages? Or maybe not. Wait! There is one more, a male specimen is revived by the AI as a companion. Or are there many humans in cryogenic sleep? Then there is an alien who appears at just the right time to take a liking to our perfect female specimen. Dreamy fantasy ensues. Alien and girl fail at lame alien diplomacy, then take a fantastic trip through space. Female must return to save (or something) Earth. Revived male specimen from earlier (but really added out of nowhere) gets jealous of the alien and tries to take over at any cost. Perfect female beams out of his line of attack with magic and defeats him. Bad aliens attack and lose to the charming alien. The charming alien gets the girl. She loves him.
The poor grammar is also very distracting.
