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. . . .
