Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Last One by Alexandra Oliva read żeby Mark Chamberlain and Nicol Zanzarella. ******* A dazzling and unsettling novel of psychological suspense.
Survival is the name of the game as one womans mind and body are pushed to the limit. TWELVE CONTESTANTS When Zoo agrees to take part in a new reality TV show, In the Dark, she knows that she will be tested to the limits of her endurance.
Beating eleven competitors in a series of survival tasks deep in the forest, living on camera at the extremes of her comfort zone, will be the ultimate challenge before she returns home to start a family.
A GAME WITH NO END As the contestants are overcome by hunger, injury and psychological breakdown, the mind games, tricks and hazards to which Zoo is subjected grow dark beyond belief. This isnt what she signed up for: the deserted towns and gruesome props, the empty loneliness.
