About this listen

From the New York Times and internationally best-selling authors of The Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic....

It's 2380, and the graduating students of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Tyler Jones has been a star pupil who hopes to recruit the squad of his dreams but ends up with a mixed and volatile crew.

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.

Vividly told in the seven voices of the team members, this is fast-paced, action-packed, wickedly humorous and fabulously entertaining.

Bloody Brilliant!

Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman are becoming my favourite authors and their audiobooks are amazingly produced. Not just the Aurora serves but The Illuminae Files too. All fantastic audiobooks. I will continue to recommend them to everyone who loves science fiction and fantasy books!

Ummmm

I really enjoyed the romp with Illuminae. This is clunking and painful at times. It is not terrible, and I will undoubtedly purchase and listen to the third book as well.

Surprising Hit

I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy this, but the book and acting of the cast really drew me in. Looking forward to jumping into book two.

Fabulous story, voice acting and production

My friend had suggested the Illuminae Files to me and so I read those and LOVED them. Devoured the audiobooks in quick succession. Naturally her next suggestion was this new series and OMG I am in love. It is the perfect blend of young adult and science fiction. If you love star trek you will like this. The mixture of characters and the use of multiple narrators, performed beautifully by the voice actors, helps to really immerse you in the world. Additionally the subtle use of sound effects, music and voice augmentation really help surround yourself in the world which I feel gives another dimension to the audiobook in comparison to purely reading the text. Would highly recommend and continue on to the next book in the series Aurora Burning.

Great entertaining listen

This was a really enjoyable listen with a great cast of narrators. I don’t usually like too many sound effects in audiobooks but it works really well in this storyline, I especially liked the radio communications between the characters which was a pleasant surprise. This is YA so don’t expect anything too heavy going, it’s more a light fun listen/read. Now onto book 2!
