My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the cover:
"Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna’s social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed.
The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminaecontinues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault.
Hanna is the station captain’s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy’s most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion.
When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station’s wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia—and possibly the known universe—is in their hands.
But relax. They’ve totally got this. They hope."
Just like with Illuminae, I'm scared that if I start describing this book I'll give stuff away. Trust, though, that it is just as incredible as its predecessor. Hanna is strong and tough, Nik is sarcastically funny and brave, and the world Amie and Jay have created is so vivid, reading the dossier makes you feel like you're there. Read this book for an amazing visual experience, listen to the audio version to feel like you're listening to a movie...better yet, do both. And do it soon, because you've got less than a week before the third book in the series, Obsidio, is released!
