Publisher Description

When the seeds rained down from deep space, it may have been the first stage of an alien invasion--or something else entirely. How much time do we have left, and do we even understand what timescale to use? As a slow apocalypse blooms across the Earth, planets and plants, animals and microbes, all live and die and evolve at different scales. Is one human life long enough to unravel the mystery?

Nine Last Days on Planet Earth is a Tor.com Original from the award-winning science fiction author Daryl Gregory.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“Summer 2019 (Hugo Award Nominee 2019 - Novelette); This one just felt so much longer than necessary. I'm still confused about the title containing 'the last nine days,' while the story covers eighty-seven years. I am interested in the premise of the whole planet being taken over shtick, but I felt like this one swam in circles not going anywhere. I wondered several times where it was going, and what was supposed to be taken from certain scenes, and whether the end would tie up. Sadly, none of these things were answered by the end.”
