The Last Stand of Earth

The Oyun Chronicles, Book 1

De: Alexander Salazar

Narrado por: Alexander Salazar

Noah Beckett was living a perfectly average life—regular job, mild coffee addiction, zero expectation of being humanity’s last hope. But then, a voice in the sky informed the good people of Earth that they had been drafted into an intergalactic war, and suddenly, survival became his full-time occupation.

As promised, a relentless invasion of alien knights descends, reducing our planet to a smoldering battlefield. Their armor shrugs off bullets. Their swords cut through steel.

Their goal? Annihilate humankind.

Noah’s goal? Find his wife. Don’t die. Maybe punch an alien in the face.

Armed with sheer stubbornness, a mouthy sword, and a talent for running away at strategically appropriate moments, Noah’s about to prove that fate really should have picked someone else.

Still, Noah’s not going down without a fight.

If he can survive long enough, he might just save the world.

The most fun I’ve had since the Martian

The dialogue is snappy, the pacing is relentless, and the blend of action and comedy is perfect. The tone is unique—irreverent but sincere, funny but grounded. Salazar has something special here.

A Hilarious, Heartfelt, and Action-Packed Debut – Even Better with the Author Narrating!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I hit play on The Last Stand of Earth, but I’m glad I did. This book is wild in the best way. Imagine if Douglas Adams and Jim Butcher teamed up to write about a reluctant hero fighting space knights with a talking sword—and somehow made it deeply emotional and genuinely funny. That’s this book.

Noah, the main character, is equal parts snarky, confused, and determined. He’s searching for his wife during an alien invasion. The humor had me laughing out loud, but there are real stakes too—grief, hope, and that human stubbornness to keep going even when the universe literally nukes your plans.

But what really sold it for me was the narration. The author reads it himself, and it makes a difference. There’s something about hearing the story from the person who lived in this weird, wonderful world that makes it hit differently. He knows the beats, the sarcasm, the timing—and he delivers.

If you like sci-fi with heart, action with absurdity, and characters who feel like people you want to get a drink with (or hide behind in a battle), this is for you. I’m already waiting for book two.

It’s like reading a comic book that exploded into a novel.

The visual energy in this book is wild. Everything feels big—the battles, the settings, the characters’ personalities. But it’s not all noise. The quieter moments hit hard. And the jokes? Chef’s kiss.

An imagination on fire

I loved the story and how it was told … such a creative new author! Can’t wait to see what is next in this young artists repertoire!

Great Boik

A book narrated by the author is usually never a good thing, and for the first two chapters I feared that would be the case, however, Salazar gets into the flow of it and then I found myself having so much fun. It’s great to listen to while driving around and I love the characters and the action sequences. Very funny too. I’m excited for the sequel.

Title: Every character feels real—and I would die for Carrot.

I don’t just read for plot—I read for people, and this book has a crew that sticks with you. Noah’s evolution is both funny and heart-wrenching. Stabby is bizarrely lovable. And Carrot? Carrot’s the kind of guy you want in your corner when the space-knights start swinging. Each survivor has their own voice, and together, they’re what makes this story shine.

A hilarious, action-packed thrill ride

I don’t usually leave reviews, but The Last Stand of Earth totally deserves it. The story itself is a wild blend of sci-fi chaos, emotional depth, and razor-sharp humor.

Alexander Salazar’s performance captures Noah’s dry wit, the absurdity of the alien invasion, and the heart behind every scene. You can tell he knows his characters inside and out—because he wrote them. The pacing is spot-on, the voices are distinct without being distracting, and the emotional moments hit.

It’s rare to find a debut that’s this confident, clever, and just plain fun. If you’re into sarcastic heroes, apocalyptic insanity, and stories with both heart and humor, grab the audiobook. You won’t regret it.
