Set in the year 2380, it follows Squad 312, a misfit crew of Aurora Academy cadets thrown together under reluctant leader Tyler Jones. Packed with banter, danger, and a slow-build mystery, this hardback edition is a must for fans of character-driven, high-stakes science fiction and a great gift for teen and adult sci-fi readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are finally being assigned their first deep-space missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is hoping to build the squad of his dreams, but a moment of reckless heroism leaves him stuck with the cadets nobody else wanted: a razor-tongued diplomat, a scientist with an unsettling fondness for weapons, a tech genius carrying a serious chip on his shoulder, a battle-scarred alien warrior, and a pilot who wants nothing to do with him. To make matters worse, Tyler's first act as leader is to rescue a girl who has no business being alive - a girl who is about to make Squad 312 very interesting indeed, and possibly the target of the biggest conspiracy in the history of the Aurora Legion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTold with the sharp humour and momentum that made the Illuminae Files a global bestseller, Aurora Rising blends found-family dynamics, mystery, and interstellar action into a story that never slows down. Kaufman and Kristoff balance big galactic stakes with funny, believable relationships between the squad members, making this a great entry point for readers new to space opera as well as long-time genre fans. It's the first instalment of an ongoing series, with plenty more adventure ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst book in the internationally bestselling Aurora Cycle series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the authors of the smash-hit Illuminae Files trilogy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, character-driven space opera with genuine humour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy hardback edition, ideal for gifting or collecting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for teens and adults who love YA sci-fi and found-family stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new copy, ready to ship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAmie Kaufman is a New York Times and internationally bestselling author of young adult and middle grade science fiction and fantasy, known for the Illuminae Files, the Starbound trilogy, and the Aurora Cycle.
