Corre el año 2575 y dos megacorporaciones están en guerra por controlar los recursos de un pequeño planeta en el último rincón de la galaxia. Bajo fuego enemigo, Kady y Ezra -que apenas se hablan desde que lo dejaron- tienen que sobrevivir huyendo hacia una flota de evacuación.

Una plaga mortal ha estallado y está mutando con resultados aterradores; nadie sabe lo que realmente está pasado. Kady piratea una página web repleta de datos para encontrar la verdad. Solo una persona puede ayudarla a sacarlo todo a la luz: el ex novio con el que juró que nunca volvería a hablar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For fans of Marie Lu comes the first book in an epic series that bends the sci-fi genre into a new dimension.

“A truly beautiful novel that redefines the form." —Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of Red Queen

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.

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.

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 swore she’d never speak to again.

Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

Editorial Reviews

If there is only one thing worse than breaking up with your boyfriend, it's being locked on a malfunctioning spaceship with him after your planet has just exploded. That is the predicament faced by poor sweet Kady in this new series by Arnie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. The Australian series maestros who gifted us with, respectively, the Starbound and the Lotus War series have combined to pull out all the intergalactic stops to give us a space—and human drama that we can all savor.

★ 07/20/2015
Star-crossed lovers fight for survival in this visually stunning adventure, the first in a trilogy and told through myriad documents and archived information, including instant messages, email, interview transcripts, memos, and security footage. Following a devastating attack on their home planet, Kady Grant and Ezra Mason, having just broken up, end up on different ships, part of a refugee fleet fleeing a cosmic dreadnought. Additionally, a virus is turning the survivors into bloodthirsty monsters, while one ship’s murderous AI takes extreme measures to protect the fleet. Though separated, Kady and Ezra rekindle their relationship while everything collapses around them. What starts off as a spacefaring action-romance evolves into a nerve-wracking horror story as the true scope of the situation becomes clear. Kaufman (the Starbound trilogy) and Kristoff (the Lotus War series) offer a stylistically mesmerizing tale, where story and art are interchangeable, and words act as pictures. The more experimental sections may require extra effort on readers’ parts, but the result is worth it. Ages 14–up. Agent: (for Kaufman) John Adams and Tracey Adams, Adams Literary; (for Kristoff) Matt Bialer and Lindsay Ribar, Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. (Oct.)

From the Publisher

Kady Grant and Ezra Mason thought that breaking up was the worst thing that could happen until the ship from BeiTech appeared and opens fire on their small, ice-covered planet, Kerenza. It makes no sense because their settlement is not really legal, and no one is actually supposed to know about it or the small-time mining operation there. Before the day is over, the two teens find themselves aboard two of the three ships evacuating the few survivors and fleeing from BeiTech’s warship, Lincoln. Tested for abilities and conscripted, Ezra finds himself in an accelerated pilot program. Kady’s computer skills put her into training, but she is not recommended for conscription because she does not play well with others. The three ships are controlled by an artificial intelligence unit, AIDAN. All is not as it seems, and the AI orders the third ship to be destroyed. When a few pilots do not follow orders and save some of the survivors of the Copernicus, they are court martialed, even though the public relations memos hail them as heroes. Kady uses her skills to hack into the systems to find out the truth and uncovers more than a threat by the AI; there is a plague that has broken out and is mutating, threatening all of the personnel on the Alexander. An exciting roller-coaster ride, Ezra and Kady are characters readers will be rooting for throughout the book. The dialogue is whip-smart, sarcastic, and filled with black humor, and the device of telling the story through documents, emails, files, interviews and medical reports is highly creative. Although not overly descriptive, it is still very visual, and unfolds like all classic social science fiction. Recommend to fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Battlestar Galactica. The length is going to be a stumbling block and it will take a sales job to get it into the hands of many readers who would enjoy it the most, especially reluctant readers, so it would be an advantage to have e-books where the page length will not be noticed. This title will fly off the shelf once word of mouth starts, and it would be a great book club selection. (The Illuminae Files_01) Reviewer: Suanne B. Roush; Ages 15 to Adult.

Gr 7 Up—Kady Grant has typical problems: school, parents, and a boyfriend she just dumped. But life spirals out of control when Kady's planet, Kerenza, is attacked by an unknown enemy. As destruction unfolds around her, Kady manages to escape her planet on one of three ships. Kady is considered lucky, with her mother on one ship and her ex, Ezra, on another. As the convoy flees Kerenza with the enemy close behind, it is clear that the problems have just begun. A deadly virus is spreading through one of the ships; AIDEN, the onboard computer of the lead ship, has gone rogue; and the enemy is in close pursuit in an attempt to destroy the last witnesses of the Kerenza catastrophe. Using a nontraditional writing style, Kaufman and Kristoff craft the narrative using illustrated screen shots of spaceship blueprints, interviews, data, and messages that make up the "Illuminae Files." Despite the minimal presence of conventional paragraphs, there is a surprisingly natural flow as elements are seamlessly woven together to create a satisfying dossier-style reading experience. The characters are immediately real and with harrowing accounts, unexpected twists, and gut-wrenching selflessness, they become even more endearing over the course of the book. While reminiscent of the works of Isaac Asimov and Orson Scott Card, this work is a distinct piece that stands alone. VERDICT A great recommendation for middle and high school science-fiction fans.—Paige Rowse, Syosset High School Library, New York

In the wake of an interstellar incident, a post-mortem dossier comprising interview transcripts, memos, instant-messaging transcripts, diary entries, and more is assembled in this mammoth series opener. Teenage colonists and exes Kady's and Ezra's lives are rocked by the 2575 assault on the Wallace/Ulyanov Consortium's illegal mining colony by their corporate rival, BeiTech Industries. They are among the lucky ones who manage to evacuate—Kady to the science vessel Hypatia and Ezra to the United Terran Authority's battlecarrier Alexander. The latter escorts both Hypatia and the freighter Copernicus in a monthslong race to safety while pursued by a BeiTech dreadnought, one likely to win should the ships engage again. Ezra's recruited as a fighter pilot. Kady avoids conscription by flunking tests and highlighting her defiant personality, which allows her freedom to hack the ships. What she discovers disturbs her and leads her to communicate with Ezra again—both for more information and because of their unfinished business. The two teenagers—a focus of the dossier due to their sleuthing—share and uncover disturbing information about an incident with Copernicus, the damage sustained by Alexander's artificial intelligence system, and a terrifying virus. The design's creative visuals take advantage of the nontraditional format, which gracefully juggles document types, foreshadowing, clues, voices, and characters. As the characters' time runs out, the story ambushes readers with surprises. The account completes the incident's history but not its fallout. Ambitious, heartbreaking, and out-of-this-world awesome. (Science fiction. 13 & up)
