About this listen

From the New York Times and internationally bestselling authors of the Illuminae Filescomes a new science fiction epic . . .

The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the academy would touch . . .

A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm
A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates
A smart-ass tech whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder
An alien warrior with anger-management issues
A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering

And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem--that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline cases, and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.

NOBODY PANIC.

What the critics say

"This intergalactic space opera has it all: action, thrills, suspense, laughs, and all the feels."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"Rotating perspectives and never-flagging energy propel this narrative forward, which, if it wasn't compelling enough on its own, is given illustrious life by its ragtag, always-at-odds cast."—Booklist, Starred Review

i absolutely loved this book. everything about this was engaging. From the story telling to the narration it was hard to put down. the cast put alot of emotion to their performances. i thought the idea of telling the story from different point of views was brilliant. I am looking forward to the next book and the path it will take.

fantastic book. a must read

This audiobook was amazing! I had found the physical book in a library but since we were out of town I couldn't borrow it. I found it on Audible and I think this is the fastest I've finished an audiobook.

Great story and now I'm sad because I have to wait until May of next year to get the next book!

Definitely worth the listen though if you have little patience I would suggest waiting to read/listen until April 2020.

May 2020 cant come soon enough!

It was such a wonderful book

each voice was perfect for each character and the story went a way i was not expecting at so many turns.

I adore each character for what they brought to the group.

I can’t wait to see where this story goes!

A extraordinary adventure
