Book description
For fans of Marie Lu comes the first book in an epic series that bends the sci-fi genre into a new dimension. "A truly beautiful novel that redefines the form." --Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of Red Queen 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 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.

A fantastically fun ride." --MTV.com ★ "[O]ut-of-this-world awesome." --Kirkus Reviews, starred ★ "...stylistically mesmerizing." --Publishers Weekly, starred ★ "[A]n arresting visual experience."--Booklist, starred ★ "[A] game-changer." --Shelf Awareness, starred "Brace yourself. You're about to be immersed in a mindscape that you'll never want to leave." --Marie Lu, bestselling author of the Legend trilogy "Genre: Undefinable. Novel: Unforgettable." --Kami Garcia, bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures & author of Unbreakable "An exuberant mix of space opera, romance, zombies, hackers, and political thrills." --Scott Westerfeld, bestselling author of Zeroes and Uglies "Stunningly creative. Smart, funny, and romantic." --Veronica Rossi, bestselling author of Under the Never Sky "This is one of those rare books that will truly keep your heart pounding." --Beth Revis, bestselling author of Across the Universe "This book is xxxxing awesome." --Laini Taylor, bestselling author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone
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.

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 sheswore 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.
