The Illuminae Files 03 Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff MARCH 2018 Obsidio: The Illuminae Files_03 Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff From bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes the exciting finale in the trilogy that broke the mould and has been called 'stylistically mesmerizing' and 'out-of-this-world-awesome.' Description Asha Grant came to Kerenza to escape her past. Too bad he just caught up with her. Asha survived BeiTech's initial assault and has been working undercover with the hopelessly outmatched resistance ever since. That, and figuring out what to do with the secret she's stashed in the crawlspace. The last thing she expected to worry about was her ex-boyfriend, but Rhys Lindstrom just landed planetside, and he's looking finer than ever in his new BeiTech uniform. Is he her way out - or a guarantee she never gets off this frozen rock alive? But Asha's not the only one with problems. Her cousin Kady's ragtag band of survivors are headed for Kerenza - without enough oxygen to last the journey. Oh, and there might be an insurrection brewing. But when have little things like that ever stopped the Illuminae Group? Too bad time isn't on their side. With BeiTech hurrying to repair their damaged jump gate, and a mass extermination planned for the Kerenza civilians, only a miracle could save them now. And everyone knows that miracles are just statistical probabilities ... right?

Now they're are piecing together what's left of their lives, and their romance, and trying to survive an intergalactic war. Description THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations 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, exes Kady and Ezra - who are barely even talking to each other - are forced to fight their way onto the evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But the warship is the least of their problems. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results. The fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what the hell is going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again. Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth and the courage of everyday heroes.

Description Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna's social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed. The saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the space station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of BeiTech's assault. Hanna is the station captain's pampered daughter, Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while they are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed to Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion. When an elite BeiTech team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the crew one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum may be ripped in two before dinner. Soon, Hanna and Nik aren't just fighting for their own survival. The fate of everyone on the Hypatia - and possibly in the known universe - is in their hands. But relax. They've totally got this.

    Aurora Rising: The Aurora Cycle 1 By Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff May 2019 ISBN 9781760295738 Paperback novel Recommended for 12-18-year-olds Summary The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch… • A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm • A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates • A smart-ass tech-wiz with the galaxy’s biggest chip on his shoulder • An alien warrior with anger management issues • A tomboy pilot who’s totally not into him, in case you were wondering 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. They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find. Nobody panic. Dual authorship is rare in novels, but Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff’s collaboration is seamless, writing in a consistent and lively style with no obvious indications as to who has written which character.

Instead of merely dodging glances from her ex-boyfriend, Ezra Mason, on the day they break up, Kady has to decide if she is going to save his life while fleeing from an invading corporation that is trying to destroy their planet. Though the two make it off of the planet Kerenza alive, they are put into separate spaceships in a fleet consisting of military personnel and refugees from their home planet. Meanwhile, the enemy is tracking their location. Ezra joins the fighter pilots on the Alexander while Kady keeps a low profile as she tries to hack into the Hypatia’s computer system. Ezra tries to contact Kady to salvage their relationship, but Kady wants nothing to do with him. Suddenly, the refugees contract a mysterious plague which is followed by a surprise attack that takes out one of the ships in the fleet. Kady discovers that something is wrong with the Alexander’s Artificial Intelligence, AIDEN, which is supposed to be keeping them all safe. In order to find out what is really going on, and to save the rest of the refugees, Kady is going to need some help from Ezra as well as a whole lot of time, something they may not have.

  • What's Going on Down Under?
    The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults Volume 10 N. 2: July 2019 www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya What’s Going on Down Under? Part 2: Portrayals of Culture in Award-Winning Australian Young Adult Literature Kasey L. Garrison, School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University Abstract Books published in Australia are strong choices for youth collections in other English-speaking countries because of the shared language and the use of different vocabulary and cultural expressions, enlisting readers to think critically about meaning and context. This article is the second in a two-part series exploring portrayals of culture in two popular Australian young adult literature awards: the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s (CBCA) Book of the Year: Older Readers, chosen by adults, and the Centre for Youth Literature’s Gold Inky Awards, chosen by young adults. Using a critical content analysis approach, the research examined the twenty-four winners from 2007 to 2018 for depictions of nine cultural constructs including class, disability, gender, immigration, Indigenous Australians, language, the LGBTQIA community, race/ethnicity/nationality, and religion. Findings suggest that class is an ever-present cultural element in the titles, especially in the CBCA award winners, and issues of class privilege and disadvantage are linked to other constructs, notably gender, immigration, language, and race/ethnicity/nationality. While two titles portrayed Indigenous Australians authentically, this construct was the least represented in the sample and reflects a gap in the awards and Australian youth publishing overall, as noted by other researchers. These titles offer an alternative perspective to issues affecting young adults on a global level such as immigration, racism, and sexism.
