For fans of Marie Lu and James Dashner comes the first book in an epic new series,
The Illuminae Files_01
By Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Amie Kaufman, the award-winning co-author of the Starbound series, and Jay Kristoff, the award-winning author of the Lotus War
series, have joined together to create an innovative and enthralling sci-fi thriller,
ILLUMINAE
(Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers | On sale October 20, 2015). A
heart-stopping, high-octane story about lives interrupted, the price of
truth, and the courage of everyday heroes. The first book in a
trilogy, ILLUMINAE is a game changer.
Every month, around the 20th, we will reveal new content about
ILLUMINAE as we get closer to the on sale date. This month fans can explore the ships in
ILLUMINAE as we now have the ship schematics found in the book! In addition, we have released a third teaser video “Emergency on the Alexander-78V”
that brings General Torrence’s memorandum (pages 19-21) to life
with an awesome sound bed, internal ship imagery, and haunting special
effects to the movie posters featured in the text. To view the new
content, visit

Description:
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
pursuit by battleship is the least of their worries. Their fleet’s
artificial intelligence—which should be protecting them—may actually be
an enemy. And a plague
is slowly ravaging the fleet with terrifying consequences. As Kady
plunges into a web of data hacking in search of the truth, she realizes
that there’s only one boy who can help her bring everything to light . .
. and of course, it’s her ex-boyfriend, Ezra.
Told
through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails,
schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—ILLUMINAE
is a
ground-breaking, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that will draw teen and
adult readers of James Dashner, Rick Yancey, and Veronica Roth yet
stands on its own with Kaufman and Kristoff’s unique storytelling.
Praise:
«
“…a stylistically mesmerizing tale,
where story and art are interchangeable, and words act as pictures. The
more experimental sections may require extra effort on readers’ parts,
but the result is worth it.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
«
“Ambitious, heartbreaking, and out-of-this-world awesome.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“An exuberant mix of space opera, romance, zombies, hackers, and political thrills, told with eccentric aplomb. ILLUMINAE is
both the weirdest and most heartfelt thing you'll read this year. ”
—Scott Westerfeld, author of Uglies and Zeroes
“Absolutely brilliant. This is the sci-fi I've been waiting for!”
—Beth Revis, bestselling author of
Across The Universe on Amie Kaufman’s These Broken Stars
