The Illuminae Files, Book 3

By: Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff

Narrated by: Olivia Taylor Dudley, Carla Corvo, full cast

From best-selling author duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes the exciting finale in the trilogy that broke the mould.

Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza - but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion?

Meanwhile, Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance. When Rhys - an old flame from Asha's past - reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict.

With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heroes will fall, and hearts will be broken.

Outstanding.

I loved the whole series. This book rounded the story off well. You do need to have read the others before this one, it gives you no back story to fill in for people who haven't read or who have forgotten previous books, but I always find those endless rehashings tedious.
The story is great, but this is so much better as an audio book. Spectacular production.
I'm reading more of this author's works already.
