Descripción: The squad you love is out of time. Now in paperback, this is the thrilling finale in the epic, best-selling 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 problemCue Tyler, Kal, and Auri: uniting with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains? Um, okay. That, too.Actually saving the galaxy, though?Now that will take a miracle.Review"Kaufman and Kristoff are masters at planting humor into high-stakes action sequences, and this book is no exception...

In any situation, I habitually calculate the odds of all possible outcomes, ensuring I am prepared for every eventuality.Nevertheless, I am extremely surprised to discover I am still alive.I spend six seconds in openmouthed shock, blinking slowly. After that, I press two fingers to my neck to check my pulse, which is rapid but unquestionably present. This suggests I am not experiencing an unexpected version of the afterlife.Interesting.A glance out of the cockpit viewshields reveals nothing--no stars, no ships, simple blackness. On instinct, I check our failing sensors, long-range and short. Strangely, I do not see any sign of the enormous battle that was raging around us moments ago, just before the Eshvaren Weapon blew itself apart--an incident with no possible outcome but our complete incineration.Impossible as it may be, the entire Syldrathi armada, along with the Terran and Betraskan fleet, and the Weapon, have . . . vanished.. . . Interesting?No. Unnerving.I let my training take over, instructing the ancient navcom on our Syldrathi ship to catalog all visible stars, FoldGates, and other landmarks or phenomena and then advise on our present location.Wait.
