Book excerpt: With battles across space and time, the explosive Aurora Cycle trilogy from the New York Times and internationally bestselling authors of the Illuminae Files draws to a thrilling end. 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 joining forces with two of the galaxy's most hated villains? Um, okay, yeah. That too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle. The squad you love may be out of time, but are they out of luck? Find out in the epic conclusion to the bestselling and award-winning Aurora Cycle series. 'To die in the fire of war is easy. To live in the light of peace, much harder.' What the reviewers are saying about Aurora's End: 'The thrilling conclusion to power duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff's The Aurora Cycle has hit shelves and you're bound to bawl your eyes out like a big baby.' Pedestrian 'The most action-packed of the trilogy ... Even so, there's room for humor, as the banter and affection between the humanoid squad members, who are diverse in skin tone, remains at the fore.' Kirkus Reviews 'Spaceship fights, action, twists, and a roller-coaster of emotions...and it made me cry a few times...you HAVE to read it.' Goodreads reviewer 'TICK. TICK. BOOM.' Goodreads reviewer
