Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle)

From the New York Times and internationally bestselling authors of The Illuminae Files comes 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 sarcasmA sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmatesA smart-ass tech-whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulderAn alien warrior with anger management issuesA tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wonderingAnd 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.‘Aurora Rising is to sci-fi what Stranger Things is to the cinema of the eighties – a fusion of everything you love about the genre that adds up into something completely fresh.’ Samantha Shannon'A beyond epic space adventure that will make a sci-fi fan out of anyone.’ Alexandra Christo, author of To Kill A Kingdom
