Description

A New York Times Bestseller

Brace yourself for GEMINA—the highly anticipated sequel to the book critics called “out-of-this-world awesome”featuring journal illustrations by bestselling author Marie Lu!

 
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 Illuminae continues 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.
     Once again told through a compelling dossier of emails, IMs, classified files, transcripts, and schematics, Gemina raises the stakes of the Illuminae Files, hurling readers into an enthralling new story that will leave them breathless.

    Wonderful book! I read the first book, and was impressed by the overall story and setup of the book. So, I gave this one a go. It didn’t dissapoooint, and I’ve just picked up a copy of OBSIDIO (the third book) at my local library. Happy reading!

    This has the potential to be an interesting book, but . . . having a separate image on each page made it iimpossible to read on my phone. There’s nno way to enlarge it. if this were regular text, at least I could change the text size. I don’t remember this as being advertised as a graphic novel; just “featuring journal illustrations.” It should be advertised as ALL illustrations. I gave it one last try and opened it on my computer with a 21” monitor. Still to small to read easily. Black on gray just doesn’t have enough contrast. I’ve surely wasted my money on this one, even though it was only $1.99, I could’ve spend it on something I could read. Money back please!
