Quel est le sujet du livre "Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle)"
It's 2380 and the graduating students of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Tyler Jones has been a star pupil who hopes to recruit the squad of his dreams but ends up with a mixed and volatile crew.
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.
Vividly told in the seven voices of the team members, this is fast-paced, action-packed, wickedly humorous and fabulously entertaining. Described by one online fan as 'a mystery with tons of action. A kind of thriller on steroids with a fantasy feel.'

'Astounding'
(The National)'Aurora Rising is to sci-fi what Stranger Things is to the cinema of the eighties a fusion of everything you love about the genre that adds up into something completely fresh.'
(Samantha Shannon)'Exciting...[an] entertaining space opera.'
(Publishers Weekly)'The brains behind the Illuminae Files team up for another high-concept, higher-stakes sf adventure. Rotating perspectives and never-flagging energy propel this narrative forward, which, if it weren t compelling enough on its own, is given illustrious life by its ragtag, always-at-odds cast.'
(Booklist, starred review)'Chock full of sarky humour.'
(SFX Magazine)'This intergalactic space opera has it all: action, thrills, suspense, laughs, and all the feels.'
(Kirkus, starred review)'A glorious explosion of everything you love about sci-fi.'
(Samantha Shannon, author of The Priory of the Orange Tree)'A beyond epic space adventure that will make a sci-fi fan out of anyone. Every page is filled with as much clever sarcasm as there is nail-biting action. I can't wait to see where our ragtag crew end up next!'
(Alexandra Christo, author of To Kill A Kingdom) --.'A battlestar-brilliant, Six of Crows ride! Fantastic world-building, action, tech, romance & fun (I esp enjoyed alien detail & banter)... An intergalactic rocket of a book.'
