Hollis is a nuvem addict, a lowlife rejected by society, living only for his next high. But now he may have discovered the secret to saving his entire planet from utter destruction. Is it reality or another hallucination? And if it’s true, can he find the strength to do what needs to be done?

Th' Garj. A city nestled in a deep crevasse, hidden from the killing-sun. It is a free and lawless culture, unique in all of human space, a city of countless buildings and walkways bound to the Rift walls and stacked on top of each other.
But it will all come to a catastrophic demise in five days when a cosmic event ends all life in th' Garj. As the countdown grows ever nearer to what the Garjens refer to as the "Big Party," the city spirals further into chaos.
Hollis navigates his way through the unbridled celebrations and declining social order intending only to scheme, cheat, and steal his way to the next push. But he makes a startling discovery, a secret revealing the true nature of not only th' Garj, but of reality itself. A truth, that if wielded properly, just might save th' Garj.
But can he believe what he has witnessed when he can't even trust his own drug-addled thoughts? Or, as everyone has always suspected, has he finally broken his mind?
One Last Push is a mind-bending story of addiction and insanity, perfect for readers who enjoy gritty, cerebral, thought-provoking science fiction.
Big recommend. It’s a terribly imaginative sci-fi book about humanity in a very unhuman environment. I enjoyed this book and look forward to his next book. I like the way stories come out of this author’s head.
I waited for a year for this book to be released. I spent over a month slowly absorbing the characters and events held within. I’m now sitting completely satisfied and fulfilled.
