She called herself Reee and she was the last human being on Earth. This was the one thing she was sure of. Because Earth was not a dead planet, not by a long way. There were all manner of strange plants and bizarre animals, and there were the blue boys who insisted they were human - but she always set fire to them. There was however Indigo, the all-devouring protoplasmic ocean that was literally gobbling up everything in the world. And there was the enigmatic Emeroo to whom she owed her continued existence. There were also the so-called Martians - humans who had fled to Mars and only came back to Earth to scout for survivors and vent their futile furies on the inhospitable homeworld.

Earthchild is the story of Reee (two syllables), the last human being alive on Earth. Much of the planet has been overrun by an ocean-like parasite called Indigo, and Reee is protected by her own survival skills and by another mysterious, shape-shifting entity called Emeroo. The rest of humanity left for Mars ages ago, but now they are coming back for the legendary last human on Earth. But Reee doesn't want to be rescued.
This is an unusual and sometimes just plain weird fable that provides an interesting examination of what it means to be civilized. Who is the savage, the girl who runs around naked and lives in harmony with nature, or the advanced culture that makes war and tries to kill everything? ( )
