From Little Stack
In Aurora Rising, the colonization stakes take a bit of a background to the main story. However, the protagonists are part of a military-style academy training them to be involved in future colonization, exploration, and peacekeeping missions, including on terraformed planets.
The story hits some of my favorite tropes—including found family, ancient alien threats, reluctant heroes, and a ragtag team thrown together by fate—and tells a truly compelling story suitable for both YA and adult audiences.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • From the internationally bestselling authors of the Illuminae Filescomes a new science fiction epic . . .
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 whiz 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.
NOBODY PANIC.
