The Chaotic Orbit series has been such a thrilling ride! I love this blend of science fiction and romance with a heart of gold! Keep reading this book review of Last Chance to Save the World for my full thoughts.
Summary
After a few weeks trapped on board a spaceship with Ada (and, oh look, there’s only one bed), Rian has to admit that maybe Ada’s rebels have a point. The nanobots poised to be unleashed on Earth are infected with malware that will ultimately leave the residents of Earth in a worse position than they’re in now. But is it too late?
Ada and Rian arrive on Earth with little time to spare. Together, they have to break into a high-security facility and infect the nanobots with a counter-virus before they’re released in order to give Earth a fighting chance. And if Ada happens to notice some great tech laying around in this high-security facility she shouldn’t have access to and then happens to steal a bunch of it when Rian’s not looking? Well, he knew who she was before he teamed up with her. And if he wants it back, he’s going to have to catch her first.
With countless twists and turns, this enemies-to-lovers slow-burn and high-tension romance plays on a Sherlock and Moriarity character dynamic rooted in science fiction with a heavy romance and mystery angle.
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
This dual POV novella is one of my favorite dips into the science fiction world. As someone who isn’t a fan of footnotes – and I’ve made that clear – I just want to say that these footnotes WORK and they even work with the narrator! I listened to Last Chance to Save the World on audiobook and the narrators were so good! Dara Rosenberg & David Bendena do a phenomenal job with the banter and the cat and mouse game they play! Last Chance to Save the World is the finale of the Chaotic Orbits series and it was such a fun wrap up.

If you’ve been loving the banter, the will they won’t they dynamic, then you’ll have to read this one. We ask ourselves if they can ever truly be together or if the differences – and kidnapping – is insurmountable. Last Chance to Save the World is full of tension and the constant games of trying to outplay each other. But this one has this kernel of heart as Ada wonders if that’s all they could ever be. I love how resourceful she is and the star of the show are the characters. This novella series has been such a fun experience and it brought me back to my SF roots!
