What do you get when you throw Star Trek, Firefly, and Hal into a mixing bowl. You get the sweet taste of Illuminae. This space opera sucks you in and does not let go. But first I should tell you that it is not a novel. This is a collection of files that tell the reader about an incident in space. Where a company destroyed a planet because of illegal mining, and then set loose a plague. This file does come in audio book, but I highly suggest reading it! The book itself is just beautiful. The lay out, etc. The files from ADIAN are a little hard to read at night because they are black pages with white and gray type, but they are also some of the most beautiful pages of the book. To tell you any more of this story is to give to much away. Do not be daunted by the 599 page count. It reads fast and there are many files that are short. This is also great if you have a short attention span.

The good thing is that I picked up Gemina at BEA. The bad thing is that I may be able to read #2 early, but that makes the wait for #3 just that much worse. PLEASE Amie and Jay, do not make me wait too long for #3.
