Aurora Rising

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 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.
