Illuminae

Da Kady slår op med Ezra, tror hun at det er det hårdeste, hun nogensinde skal igennem. Samme dag bliver hendes planet invaderet. Året er 2575, og to rivaliserende megakoncerner er i krig om planeten Kerenza, der er lidt mere end bare en is-dækket plet i udkanten af ​​universet. Den ene koncern, Beitech, angriber Kerenza, hvor den anden koncern udfører illegalt minearbejde på Beitechs område. Det er hensigten at angrebet skal dræbe alle civile på planeten, men det lykkes en række mennesker at evakuere til andre planeter – heriblandt historiens to hovedpersoner, Kady og Ezra, hvis kærlighedshistorie vi får fortalt, mens de prøver at finde rundt i konflikten mellem megakoncernerne og redde både sig selv og fremtiden for deres medborgere fra Kerenza. Deres problemer er dog kun lige begyndt – en dødbringende pest er brudt ud og muterer med skrækindjagende resultater. Flåden, der skulle beskytte dem, viser sig at være deres fjende og ingen ved magten vil afsløre hvad der reelt foregår. Kady må hacke sig ind i et fintmasket net af informationer for at finde frem til sandheden, og det står hurtigt klart, at der kun er en, der kan hjælpe hende: Ezra, som hun havde svoret aldrig at tale til igen. Illuminae er første del af en trilogi om sandhedens pris og bygget op af hackede filer af dokumenter, interviews, aflytninger, journaler, mails etc., der tilsammen udgør historien om den hemmelige krig mellem de to (sci-fi!) mega-koncerner.

The internationally and New York Times bestselling first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy that bends the sci-fi genre into a new dimension. Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the worst thing she’d ever been through. That was before her planet was invaded. Now, with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating craft, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But the warship could be 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 biggest threat; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady plunges into a web of data hacking to get to the truth, it’s clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: Ezra. Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents, Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy. ‘Never have I read a book so wholly unique and utterly captivating.’ Marie Lu ‘It certainly filled the Battlestar Galactica-shaped hole in my heart.’ Victoria Aveyard Can’t get enough Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman?
