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.

Beth Revis's Last Chance to Save the World is the third installment in the author's Chaotic Orbits novella trilogy. The plot centers on Ada LaMarr, a brilliant and morally complex heroine, and Rian White, her reluctant partner-in-crime with a begrudging respect for her intellect. In this installment, the stakes are higher than ever: Earth faces annihilation from a nanobot swarm capable of reducing the planet to dust if a trillionaire is allowed to launch. Ada and Rian arrive on Earth with little time to spare.
Especially after being summoned by Ada's mysterious mother, Jane LaMarr. Both Ada and Jane know that Rian is going to betray them, but they have a plan. 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 lying 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. Ada remains the heart of the story, a character whose cunning and unapologetic pragmatism make her endlessly compelling. She’s a mastermind who thrives on outsmarting her enemies. Rian, meanwhile, serves as the perfect foil: a man torn between duty and his growing admiration (and perhaps more) for Ada. Their dynamic is the trilogy’s emotional core, evolving from adversaries to something akin to a Sherlock-Moriarty partnership with a slow-burn romantic undercurrent.
The reason for my review is simple. The ending. The ending seemed to leave on a cliffhanger, leaving us with wondering if we will see these characters in another series or if we will ever get the final conclusion when it comes to the romance between Ada and Rian.
