Atados a las estrellas (Starbound #1)
Amie Kaufman
Es una noche como cualquier otra a bordo de la Ícaro, la nave más impresionante del universo. Hasta que una avería provoca que la nave se estrelle en un planeta desierto.
Lila LaRoux y Tarver Merendsen sobreviven el impacto. Y parece que son los únicos.
Lila es la hija del hombre más rico del universo. Tarver, de origen muy humilde, es un joven héroe de guerra que aprendió hace mucho tiempo que las niñas como Lila dan tantos problemas que no valen la pena. Pero ahora solo se tienen el uno al otro y deben emprender un peligroso viaje en busca de ayuda.
A medida que pasan los días, Lila y Tarver empiezan a pensar que tal vez esta tragedia esconda algo de bendición, ya que esta nueva situación les permite una realidad imposible en su mundo: estar juntos.
¿Deberían quedarse desterrados para siempre?
Pero todo cambia cuando descubren la verdad tras los susurros que los persiguen en la oscuridad. Puede que Lila y Tarver logren salir de este planeta pero la experiencia los cambiará para siempre
Aurora Burning (The Aurora Cycle, #2)
Amie Kaufman
Our heroes are back… kind of. From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in the epic series about a squad of misfits, losers, and discipline cases who just might be the galaxy’s best hope for survival.
First, the bad news: an ancient evil—you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal—is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They’ve just got to take care of a few small distractions first.
Like the clan of gremps who’d like to rearrange their favorite faces.
And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who’ll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri.
Then there’s Kal’s long-lost sister, who’s not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted.
When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it’s time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can’t learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV.
Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion’s most unforgettable heroes—and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.
Aurora erwacht (The Aurora Cycle, #1)
Amie Kaufman
Der New-York-Times-Bestseller: spannend, actionreich und witzig
Tyler, frisch ausgebildeter Musterschüler der besten Space Academy der ganzen Galaxie, freut sich auf seinen ersten Auftrag. Als sogenannter „Alpha“ steht es ihm zu, sein Team zusammenzustellen – und er hat vor, sich mit nichts weniger als den Besten zufrieden zu geben. Tja, die Realität sieht anders aus: Er landet in einem Team aus Losern und Außenseitern:
Scarlett, die Diplomatin – Sarkasmus hilft immer (not.)
Zila, die Wissenschaftlerin – dezent soziopathisch veranlagt
Finian, der Techniker – besser: der Klugscheißer
Kaliis, der Kämpfer – es gibt definitiv Menschen, die ihre Aggressionen besser unter Kontrolle haben
Sarah, die Pilotin – die sich absolut nicht für Tyler interessiert (behauptet sie zumindest)
Doch dieses Katastrophenteam ist nicht Tylers größtes Problem. Denn er selbst ist in den verbotenen interdimensionalen Raum vorgedrungen und hat ein seit 200 Jahren verschollenes Siedlerschiff gefunden. An Bord 1.000 Tote und ein schlafendes Mädchen: Aurora. Vielleicht hätte er sie besser nicht geweckt. Ein Krieg droht auszubrechen – und ausgerechnet sein Team soll das verhindern. Ouuups. Don’t panic!
Aurora: Koniec (Aurora, #3)
Amie Kaufman
Kiedy ostatni raz widzieliśmy drużynę 312, jej członkowie panikowali współpracowali gładko niczym naoliwione tryby maszyny, podczas gdy wokół szalała intergalaktyczna bitwa i istniało ryzyko, że pradawna superbroń w każdej chwili może wysadzić Ziemię. Oczywiście wszystko potoczyło się jak najgorzej.
Okazuje się jednak, że nie każdy koniec to naprawdę koniec i drużyna ma jeszcze jedną szansę, żeby zmienić koniec własnej historii. Może nawet dwie szanse. To skomplikowane.
Zila, Fin i Scarlett (oraz MAGELLAN!) znajdują nowych przyjaciół, nowych wrogów i piszą historię? Jasne, nie ma sprawy.
Tyler, Kal i Auri współpracują z dwoma najbardziej znienawidzonymi złoczyńcami galaktyki? Hm, w porządku. To też się zgadza.
Ale czy uratują Galaktykę?
To wymagałoby cudu.
Aurora: Pożoga (Aurora, #2)
Amie Kaufman
Międzygwiezdni bohaterowie wracają w drugiej odsłonie bestselleru New York Timesa: Cyklu Aurory.
Zacznijmy od złej wiadomości: starodawne zło – wiecie, standardowe zagrożenie gotowe pożreć wszelkie życie w całej Galaktyce – zostanie wkrótce uwolnione.
A dobra wiadomość? Drużyna 312 jest w gotowości i rusza na ratunek. Muszą tylko wcześniej zająć się pewnym drobiazgiem.
Szokujące odkrycie, napady na banki, tajemnicze dary, niestosownie obcisłe stroje i epicka kosmiczna bitwa zadecydują o losach najbardziej niezapomnianych bohaterów Legionu Aurory.
A być może też o losach całej Galaktyki.
Aurora: Przebudzenie (Aurora, #1)
Amie Kaufman
Jest rok 2380 i kadeci, którzy ukończyli Akademię Aurora otrzymują swoje pierwsze przydziały. Najlepszego ucznia akademii, Tylera Jonesa, dzieli tylko krok od wyboru drużyny swoich marzeń, ale z powodu uporczywej skłonności do szalonych aktów heroizmu ląduje z wyrzutkami, których nikt inny w nie chciał:
•zarozumiałą dyplomatką, która ma czarny pas w sarkazmie
•socjopatyczną oficer naukową, która lubi strzelać do współlokatorów
•przemądrzałym geniuszem inżynierii, który ma pretensje do całej Galaktyki
•wojownikiem z obcej rasy, który nie panuje nad gniewem
•zadziorną pilotką, która absolutnie nie leci na dowódcę drużyny – na wypadek gdyby was to ciekawiło.
Jednak to drużyny jest największym problemem Ty’a, tylko Aurora O’Malley, dziewczyna, którą właśnie uratował z przestrzeni między wymiarami. Spędziła w kriokapsule dwieście lat i teraz nie potrafi się odnaleźć. Może jednak okazać się katalizatorem, który wznieci wojnę tlącą się od miliona lat, a składająca się z nieudaczników, wyrzutków i przypadków dyscyplinarnych drużyna Tylera może być ostatnią nadzieją Galaktyki.
Tylko bez paniki!
Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle, #1)
Amie Kaufman
From the internationally bestselling authors of THE ILLUMINAE FILES comes an epic new science fiction adventure.
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 techwiz 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.
They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find. Nobody panic.
Aurora's End (The Aurora Cycle, #3)
Amie Kaufman
The squad you love is out of time. Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, best-selling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival.
Is this the end?
What happens when you ask a bunch of losers, discipline cases, and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil? The ancient evil wins, of course.
Wait. . . . Not. So. Fast.
When we last saw Squad 312, they were working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally.
But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It's complicated.
Cue Zila, Fin, and Scarlett (and MAGELLAN!): making friends, making enemies, and making history? Sure, no problem.
Cue Tyler, Kal, and Auri: uniting with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains? Um, okay. That, too.
Actually saving the galaxy, though?
Now that will take a miracle.
Aurora Squad (The Aurora Cycle, #1)

Alors qu’il sort faire un tour dans l’espace pour se calmer les nerfs avant l’Affectation, il tombe nez à nez sur un vaisseau disparu depuis des années. À bord, Aurora, une jeune fille cryogénisée depuis 200 ans…
Commence pour Tyler une odyssée dangereuse où il devra protéger Aurora de ceux qui la traquent pour une raison inconnue. Et diriger une bande d’anti-héros fantasques et courageux, insolents et sarcastiques…
Et si le sort de l'humanité dépendait de sept têtes brûlées à l'humour ravageur ?
Battle Born (Elementals, #3)
Amie Kaufman
Though Anders and his friends have delayed a war between ice wolves and scorch dragons, their mission is far from over. With adults on both sides looking for them, they’ve sought refuge in Cloudhaven, a forbidden stronghold that could hold the key to saving their home.
Meanwhile, Holbard has been ravaged, and its citizens are reeling. Many have been forced into bleak camps outside the city, and food is running short.
To rebuild Vallen and unite scorch dragons, ice wolves, and humans, Anders and Rayna must put everything on the line…before the damage done is beyond repair. But the price of peace may hit closer to home than they could’ve ever imagined.

Time to stop Inshara. Time to find a way between worlds. Time to find each other again.
Nimh still holds on to her divinity, if only by a thread.
In her final confrontation with Inshara, the woman determined to take her place and rule Nimh’s kingdom, both Nimh and her enemy were sent to the world above, in the cloudlands.
Now North looks to the sky, left behind on the surface world.
Desperate for a chance to join the girl he loves and save his world, North will stop at nothing to find a way back to his home in the sky-city of Ciel. Before it’s too late to save anyone.

Cioburi de stele
Amie Kaufman
Trei lumi. Trei poveşti de iubire.
Un singur duşman.
Icarus e o uriaşă navă spaţială care călătoreşte prin hiperspaţiu cu viteză superluminică. Icarus explodează, iar Lilac LaRoux (fiica celui mai bogat om din univers) şi Tarver Merendsen (care, la doar 18 ani, este deja erou de război) sunt singurii supravieţuitori. O navetă de salvare îi duce pe o planetă pustie, unde găsesc o formă ciudată de viaţă ("fiinţele şoptitoare"), supusă unui experiment secret condamnabil, iniţiat de tatăl lui Lilac. Totul se schimbă după ce Lilac şi Tarver dezleagă misterul "fiinţelor şoptitoare" şi află că ar putea fi salvaţi. Dar nu vor mai fi niciodată aceiaşi tineri care au păşit cândva pe planeta pustie.
"Nu ştiu cine sau ce ne urmăreşte, dar îmi dau seama că floarea este un dar de la fiinţele misterioase. Nu ştiu ce intenţii au ele, dar ştiu ce înseamnă acest dar pentru mine. Nu sunt singură. Poate că n am fost niciodată. Nici măcar când am intrat în măruntaiele navei. Acele fiinţe şoptitoare îmi citesc gândurile. Citesc în sufletul meu."

Auf der Erde hätten Jules und Amelia sich gehasst: Er ein verwöhntes Oxfordgenie, sie eine Plünderin aus der Unterwelt Chicagos.

Eine pragmatische Zweckgemeinschaft für eine halsbrecherische Mission, nichts weiter. Oder ist da etwa doch mehr?

Fărâme de şoapte
Amie Kaufman
Fărâme de şoapte aduce în scenă o pereche de îndrăgostiţi aflaţi în taberele adverse ale unui război sângeros.
Jubilee Chase şi Flynn Cormac n-ar fi trebuit să se întâlnească niciodată.
Lee este căpitan şi face parte din forţele trimise pe Avon să-i supună pe coloniştii rebeli ai acestei planete terraformate.
Flynn conduce revolta împotriva corporaţiilor care nu şi-au respectat promisiunea de a transforma planetele ospitaliere în unele pe care se poate trăi.
Încercând cu disperare să-şi asigure un avantaj cât de mic într-un război nemilos, Flynn face singurul lucru care pare să aibă sens atunci când el şi Lee îşi încrucişează cărările: se întoarce la bază, luând-o prizonieră.
Dar în timp ce tovaraşii lui se pregătesc s-o execute pe această fată dură, cu nervi de oţel, Flynn face o altă alegere, care îl va schimba pentru totdeauna.
---
„Nici nu-mi amintesc cum am ajuns la mine. Dar brusc mă pomenesc în camera mea, ameţită de gânduri, cu pielea înfiorată. Mă pregătesc de culcare cu destulă uşurinţă, având în sânge acest ritual după atâţia ani în care m-am simţit extrem de obosită la sfârşitul unei zile pentru a mai face şi altceva.
Nu trebuie să mă mai gândesc, nu trebuie să mai rămân în această stare teribilă în care simt cum adrenalina îmi pompează prin vene. Nu trebuie să mai rememorez cele întâmplate cu Flynn.
Nu trebuie să mă îndrăgostesc de un băiat care reprezintă toate lucrurile împotriva cărora am luptat de când aveam opt ani.
Dar pentru că nu mă pot opri să fac toate astea, măcar pot să nu-l mai ating vreodată.”
Gemina (The Illuminae Files, #2)
Amie Kaufman
Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna’s social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed.
The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault.
Hanna is the station captain’s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy’s most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion.
When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station’s wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia—and possibly the known universe—is in their hands.
But relax. They’ve totally got this. They hope.
Ice Wolves (Elementals, #1)
Amie Kaufman
Everyone in Vallen knows that ice wolves and scorch dragons are sworn enemies who live deeply separate lives.
So when twelve-year-old orphan Anders takes one elemental form and his twin sister, Rayna, takes another, he wonders whether they are even related. Still, whether or not they’re family, Rayna is Anders’s only true friend. She’s nothing like the brutal, cruel dragons who claimed her as one of their own and stole her away.
In order to rescue her, Anders must enlist at the foreboding Ulfar Academy, a school for young wolves that values loyalty to the pack above all else. But for Anders, loyalty is more complicated than obedience, and friendship is the most powerful shapeshifting force of all.
Ilhas dos Deuses (Ilhas dos Deuses, #1)
Amie Kaufman
Magia, romance e deuses adormecidos se misturam no início de uma fascinante série de fantasia em alto-mar.
Séculos atrás, o deus do risco foi forçado a dormir para evitar uma guerra. Desde então, o irmão de cada governante de Alinor é enviado às Ilhas dos Deuses para sacrificar algo em troca da proteção do deus da guerra. Essa tradição evitou o surgimento de conflitos e é a única forma garantida de manter a paz e impedir que os deuses entrem em confronto novamente.
Selly Walker, filha de um famoso capitão, não tem aptidão natural para a magia e não quer nada além de se juntar ao pai no norte, mas está presa trabalhando como marinheira no Lizabetta pelo resto do ano. Quando ela descobre que seu pai só voltará depois do inverno, Selly, que não está disposta a ficar de fora de nenhuma aventura, decide fugir e encontrá-lo por conta própria.
O plano de Selly é arruinado quando um estranho, com quem ela antipatiza de imediato, assume o comando do navio. O príncipe Leander, irmão da rainha, precisa atravessar o oceano sem ser avistado para poder fazer o sacrifício. Ele adiou a tarefa e já está um ano atrasado, então as tensões começam a aumentar.
Selly rejeita essa missão e o novo passageiro a bordo. Mas, quando a frota enviada com Leander para servir de isca é atacada, ela e a tripulação do Lizabetta devem protegê-lo por tempo suficiente para chegar às Ilhas dos Deuses, mesmo que isso signifique perder tudo no processo.
Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1)
Amie Kaufman
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 mega-corporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than a speck at the edge of the universe. Now with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra — who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to evacuate with a hostile warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it’s clear the only person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again.
Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents — including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more — Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

Lady’s Knight
Amie Kaufman
An undeniably fierce, unforgettably funny, unapologetically queer feminist romp through the England of medieval legend. Bestselling and acclaimed authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner bring readers along on an epic quest for valor, freedom, and, above all, love. A Knight’s Tale meets the Lady Jane series, with a dash of The Great!
Gwen is sick of hiding—hiding the fact that she’s taken over her father’s blacksmithing duties, hiding her attraction to girls, hiding her yearning for glory as a knight.
Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle of Avington, queen bee of the castle, has never once considered hiding who she is—until now. She’s been chosen as the grand prize in the Tournament of Dragonslayers, to be given to whichever knight can claim her hand. And for the first time in her life, she can’t talk her way out of trouble.
When Isobelle discovers Gwen’s knightly ambitions, they hatch a scheme together—Gwen will joust in the tournament, disguised as Sir Gawain. Winning means freedom for Isobelle, and glory for Gwen. Losing means… well, let’s not go there.
One thing’s for sure: falling in love was never the plan.
But the best laid plans…are often trampled all over by dragons.
Le isole degli dei (Italian Edition)
Amie Kaufman
Nelle vene di Selly non scorre sangue ma acqua di mare, perciò quando il padre, imbarcatosi un anno addietro, le fa recapitare una lettera in cui le comunica che non tornerà prima di sei mesi e che lei dovrà restare a Kirkpool fino al suo rientro, la delusione e la rabbia prendono il sopravvento. Di certo, l'ultima cosa che lei ha voglia di fare è aspettarlo tutto l'inverno con le mani in mano. Peccato però che il suo piano di inseguirlo venga vanificato da un affascinante straniero, che ha marchi verde smeraldo da mago lungo gli avambracci e sul dorso delle mani. Quando poi il ragazzo, il principe Leander di Alinor, convince il capitano della Lizabetta, una delle imbarcazioni del padre di Selly, ad aiutarlo, sia la ragazza sia il resto dell'equipaggio verranno coinvolti nella sua missione. Dovranno attraversare il Mar della Mezzaluna in modo che, una volta giunti alle sacre Isole degli Dèi, il principe possa completare un rituale, ma a dirla tutta Selly non muore all'idea di scortarlo né di assecondarne i capricci da ragazzo viziato. Nel giro di poco tempo, quello che era iniziato come un viaggio di piacere finirà per diventare una fonte inesauribile di pericoli. Ai tradimenti si aggiungeranno situazioni terribili in alto mare, due paesi si ritroveranno sull'orlo della guerra, due estranei, senza volerlo, si avvicineranno più di quanto potessero mai immaginare, e due divinità pericolose si risveglieranno dopo secoli di letargo.

From New York Times bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes an Illuminae prequel digital novella that gives readers a hair-raising glimpse into the calamity that befell the invincible AI system known as AIDAN–and the daring young programmer who would risk her life to keep it from crashing.
AIDAN is the AI you’ll love to hate.
The advanced AI system was supposed to protect a fleet of survivors who’d escaped the deadly attack on Kerenza IV. AIDAN was supposed to be infallible. But in the chaotic weeks and months that followed, it became clear that something was terribly, terribly wrong with AIDAN…
Obsidio (The Illuminae Files, #3)

Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship, Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza--but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion?
Meanwhile, Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance. When Rhys--an old flame from Asha's past--reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heros will fall, and hearts will be broken.
From bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes the exciting finale in the trilogy that broke the mold and has been called "stylistically mesmerizing" and "out-of-this-world-awesome."

8 HOURS TO STOP AN EXPLOSION... 8 HOURS TO FALL IN LOVE.
From the NYT bestselling co-author of Illuminae and Aurora Rising comes a high-stakes, high-chemistry sci-fi romp about a stowaway girl and the richest boy in the galaxy, racing the clock to outwit a gang of mercenaries.
It’s 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from lifeless rock into a chaotic patchwork of settlements—and everybody wants a piece.
Enter Hunter Graves: handsome, ambitious, and with spectacularly bad timing. He shows up at the United Nations base just as an emergency evacuation sends everyone scurrying for safety. Except he’s left behind. Uh oh.
Also stranded: Cleo, a sharp-tongued stowaway with no intention of dying today, and even less patience for overconfident trust fund boys. But the enemy of your enemy might just help you survive, so here we are.
Turns out the evacuation was just a cover for the mercenaries who came next, and they plan to blow up the base—and every trace of their crime—in eight hours.
Now, Hunter and Cleo have one shot to stop the explosion, escape alive, and deal with the inconvenient fact that they’re falling for each other.
The clock is ticking.

Amie Kaufman
Magic and sacrifice will collide as lovers and gods, enemies and allies vie for the fate of the world in this heart-pounding sequel to The Isles of the Gods, which Stephanie Garber called deliciously diabolical and full of heart.
When Selly and Leander began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain’s daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened.
They fell in love.
Leander’s ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life, and drew the goddess Barrica back from exile. Now, as her Messenger, Leander is imbued with her deadly magic, and only Selly’s presence can stop it from consuming him.
But Barrica wasn’t the only immortal roused from sleep. The God of Risk, Macean, was awakened by an enemy all thought dead, and across the sea he’s calling for war.
The fight to save their world will take Selly and Leander from the gilded ballroom of the royal palace to the hallowed halls of an ancient library. Battle lines will be drawn, and bonds will break.
With the wrath of gods and the machinations of power-hungry rulers straining their loyalties, can their love withstand the trials that await them?

Gideon Marchant is an eighteen-year-old computer hacker—a whiz kid and an urban warrior. He’ll climb, abseil and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don’t dare touch.

Desperate for any advantage in a bloody and unrelentingly war, Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape the rebel base together, caught between two sides of a senseless war.

For Jules Addison and his fellow scholars, the discovery of an alien culture offers unprecedented opportunity for study... as long as scavengers like Amelia Radcliffe don't loot everything first. Mia and Jules' different reasons for smuggling themselves onto Gaia put them immediately at odds, but after escaping a dangerous confrontation with other scavvers, they form a fragile alliance.
In order to penetrate the Undying temple and reach the tech and information hidden within, the two must decode the ancient race's secrets and survive their traps. But the more they learn about the Undying, the more their presence in the temple seems to be part of a grand design that could spell the end of the human race...

Наистина ли това е краят?
Древно зло заплашва съществуването на галактиката и единственият шанс за спасяването ѝ е група неудачници. Кой ще победи в тази война?
Древното зло, разбира се.
Момент… Не бързайте със заключенията.
За последно видяхме Отряд 312 в разгара на епична битка, в която Звездния палач иска да унищожи Земята с Оръжието. Забавно, нали?
Всичко, естествено, се обърква. За късмет отрядът получава още един шанс да поправи цялата галактическа бъркотия, в която се е забъркал. Или два. Малко е сложно.
Могат ли Зила, Скар, Фин (и МАГЕЛАН!) да променят историята и да се справят с всички врагове, следващи ги по петите? Е, тази задача няма да е толкова лесна, колкото на нашите герои им се иска.
От друга страна, Ари, Кал и Тай трябва да се съюзят с най-опасните злодеи в галактиката. Да, защо не?
Да не забравяме основната цел на Отряд 312 – спасяването на галактиката. Дали ще е успешна?

Сходження Аврори (The Aurora Cycle, #1)
Amie Kaufman
2380 рік. Випускники військової академії «Аврора» готуються до перших місій. Зірка курсу Тайлер Джонс готовий зібрати команду мрії, але необачний прояв героїзму призводить до того, що йому дістаються покидьки, яких більше ніхто не хоче бачити у своєму загоні:
— норовлива дипломатка з чорним поясом із сарказму;
— відлюдькувата науковиця з нездоровим потягом стріляти у своїх сусідок з гуртожитку;
— язикатий інженер із найпотужнішим процесором галактики на плечах;
— чужосвітній войовник із неконтрольованими нападами гніву;
— хлопчакувата пілотеса, якій він, раптом що, взагалі ні разу не подобається.
Та найбільша Таєва проблема — зовсім не нікчемний загін, а Аврора Цзе-Лінь Омеллі, яку він порятував із міжвимірного простору. Провівши в кріосні два століття, Аврора — дівчина з-за меж часу та здорового глузду — здатна спровокувати війну, що готувалася мільйони років. Якщо це станеться — останньою надією цілої галактики буде Тайлерів загін невдах, злісних порушників дисципліни та недовірків.
