Army aviator Vaughn Singleton takes part in a NASA experiment in a last-ditch attempt to reignite his failing military career, but when he emerges from the experimental vacuum chamber, he soon discovers he is the last human left on Earth, a position for which he is emotionally ill-equipped.
Stranded alone on the ISS, Commander Angela Brown watched a wave of light sweep across the planet. Over the following weeks and months, Angela struggles to contact someone on the surface as she fights to survive aboard a deteriorating space station. Then, from orbit above Central Europe, Angela glimpses the dark underpinnings of humanity’s demise. It appears something went horribly wrong with a physics experiment at the supercollider in Geneva, Switzerland. As a theoretical physicist, Angela might be able to unravel and maybe even reverse the events that led to the apocalypse…if only she could get there.
Can Vaughn find a path to space and back? Can Angela—the only person capable of reversing humanity’s disappearance—survive until he does?
“Like The Martian on (and above) Earth. An epic survival story with very human characters, clever problem-solving and a gripping mystery. The end left me with NO IDEA where Dean was going with the story, I couldn’t wait for the next book.” —Craig Alanson, NYT Bestselling Author of Expeditionary Force
“R.C. Bray and Julia Whelan are individually stellar. Having them co-voice Dean M. Cole’s superb Dimension Space Series is a stroke of genius. Rich with elements of every genre, Solitude is an outstanding listen.” —Nicholas Sansbury Smith, USA Today Bestselling Author of Hell Divers

Very interesting spin on the whole “last man on earth” premise. And while yes it ends on a cliffhanger, that in no way diminishes the great writing and narration. Definitely going to check out the sequel!
I loved this book and the follow up. It is Sci-Fi at its best. A totally different twist than I expected.
A good read. Resent the lead in to another book, though.
Great writing style and story. Had more f bombs than it needed but enjoyed the book
The author has no concept of careful plotting. This story is one continuous s##tstorm. There are no surprises–something will always go wrong. Vaughn has some moments of funny dialogue, but it’s not close to comic relief. I’ve seen this book compared to The Martian: not even close as far as reading experience is concerned. Mark Weir is much more adroit at pacing a plot. The inciting force–The Disappearance– is intriguing, but completely unresolved by the end of this volume.
On sale today (July 21st, 2019), and well worth a one-click impulse buy!
This was great. Fast-paced with moments of humour mixed with moments of gripping sadness.
“Yeah, Houston. We’ve got a problem alright.”
I enjoyed Captain Vaughan Singleton. He started out a little less than hero-like but soon rose to the occasion. I liked that he wasn’t perfect.
“Way to go, Angela. You greet, literally, the last man on Earth with a head full of mice?!”
I also liked Astronaut Angela Brown, who went through a harrowing ordeal on the ISS. I especially liked being on the ISS. Space nerd here!
All in all, this was a page-turner for me. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. Well written, engaging, and edge-of-your-seat storytelling. 5-stars!
Solitude gave a fresh and original look to a well-used scifi theme. Was it entirely believable? Of course not, but it was fun and intense. Since I found the audio version irresistible — come on, it was read by superstar narrators RC Bray *and* Julia Whelan, for gosh sakes — I devoured Solitude like it was melting Haagen Dazs. I enjoyed it thoroughly, wanting to lick the bowl clean.
It was disappointing how quickly it dropped off, however. In the audio version, you just tune in and listen, with no idea when it will end. But music came on, and I was like “no way, not now!”, then bam, it was over. I hate it when that happens.
Sure, I’ll read (or listen to) the next in the series, but I’m still going to pout now about the abruptness of the ending. And I’ll still preach about how each book should stand on its own, even if it’s part of a series. If your book is good enough, people will seek out the next one. You don’t need to manipulate or simply stop the story
