Waiting on Wednesday - Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I know it's been a bit since I've posted a WOW, I've had so many books on my TBR lately, I've been immersed in them! I'm so excited for this weeks WOW!

This week's pre-publication "can't wait to read" selection is...


Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

About the book...


This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.
Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.


What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    Wow - I've seen this cover around, but I never actually stopped to read the synopsis until now. It's exactly my cup of tea!! I never would have figured it was a sci-fi novel based on the cover. Thanks for sharing - this one is on my TBR now!
