What this book is about
The third and final Illuminae Files novel splits across three storylines: the survivors on Heimdall Station, the Hypatia, and the occupied Kerenza colony. Kaufman and Kristoff maintain the series' distinctive format — files, chat logs, surveillance transcripts, illustrated spreads — while escalating the stakes to their conclusion. The YA space opera action sequences are intense and casualties are significant; the body count of the series reaches its apex. For fans who have followed the trilogy.
