Synopsis:
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.
My Opinion:
Once again I feel like these guys have knocked it out of the park. I enjoyed every bit of reading that I had with this. I loved the characters and enjoyed every moment that they were pushed through hoop after hoop. I did have the occasional issue with some of the characters as they felt flat but that quickly changed the further you get into the story. They each care about each other. I did have issues with the pilot several times because while it seems like she cares about her squad I feel like she's more about saving her own skin than the skin of her squad mates. Again I loved this and enjoy every moment of it.
