The squad you love is out of time. Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, bestselling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival. Is this the end? What happens when you ask a bunch of losers, discipline cases and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil? The ancient evil wins, of course. Wait . . . Not. So. Fast. When we last saw Squad 312, they were working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally. But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It’s complicated. Cue Zila, Fin and Scarlett (and Magellan!) making friends, making enemies and making history? Sure, no problem. Cue Tyler, Kal and Auri joining forces with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains? Um, okay, yeah. That too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle. Our heroes are back. Kind of. First, the bad news: an ancient evil—you know, your standard consume-alllife- in-the-galaxy deal—is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They're just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the Cadre of illegal gia Who’ll stop at nothing to get their hands on auri. Or kal’s long-lost sister, who’s not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a syldrathi Army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, squad 312 has never felt so wanted. The year is 2380 and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch. A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm a sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates a smart-ass techwiz with the galaxy's biggest Chip on his shoulder an alien warrior with anger management issues a tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering 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. Nobody panic.
