<b>For fans of Marie Lu comes the first book in an epic series that bends the sci-fi genre into a new dimension.</b><br />  <br /> <b>“A truly beautiful novel that redefines the form."</b> —<b>Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of <i>Red Queen</i></b><br /><br /> This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.<br />       The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than a speck at the edge of the universe. Now with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to evacuate with a hostile warship in hot pursuit.<br />      But their problems are just getting started. A plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it’s clear the only person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she <i>swore</i> she’d never speak to again.<br />       Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—<i>Illuminae</i> is the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.<br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>“Prepare yourselves for <i>Illuminae</i>.” </b>—<b>EW.com</b><br /> <b> </b><br /> “<b>[Y]ou’re not in for an ordinary novel experience. . . .</b>”<b>  </b>—<b>Bustle.com</b><br /> <b> </b><br /> “A <b>truly interactive</b> experience. . . .
