For fans of Marie Lu and James Dashner comes the first book in an epic new series.
“Never have I read a book so wholly unique and utterly captivating.” - Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of the Legend trilogy
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a
planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the
universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With
enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra - who are barely even
talking to each other - are forced to fight their way onto one of the
evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But
their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out
and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI, which should
be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge
will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of
data to find the truth, it’s clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again!
Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents - including
emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews,
and more - Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping,
high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.
