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.
