My next blurb for THE LAST INFINITY is here! @bethanymangle.bsky.social was kind enough to read and offer me this wonderful blurb. Be sure to check out her books! THE LAST INFINITY is on Goodreads and available for pre-order on Amazon. You can find those links here: linktr.ee/alexis.ames.

A blurb that reads: "The Last Infinity is a thrilling, ambitious read that expertly balances the danger of a time-traveling colony on Mars with the timelessness of love and found family. I wish that I could turn back the clock and read it again for the first time." - Bethany Mangle, author of Prepped.
