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

It''s 2380 and the graduating students of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Tyler Jones has been a star pupil who hopes to recruit the squad of his dreams but ends up with a mixed and volatile crew.

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.

Vividly told in the seven voices of the team members, this is fast-paced, action-packed, wickedly humorous and fabulously entertaining. Described by one online fan as ''a mystery with tons of action. A kind of thriller on steroids with a fantasy feel.''
