The Last Albatross is the first book in Ian Irvine's Eco-thriller titles, set in 2010.

It depicts what our world might be like in a few years time, focusing on environmental depletion and cultural degeneration.

The ePub version of the eBook is available to download for free on Ian Irvine's website.

Jackie Cassada said in her review for Library Journal that "the author of The View from the Mirror crafts a chilling sf suspense story set against a backdrop of 21st-century environmental depletion and cultural degeneration.

First published in Australia, Irvine's latest novel, the first in a trilogy of eco-thrillers, portrays a frighteningly plausible near future".
