Illuminae
by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
Age: High School+
Hot dog. This was a fantastic, full cast audiobook.
The book starts with a full-fledged bombing of a tiny mining colony. Fleeing the megacorporation responsible for the attack, 3 ships soon find out that the terror they left behind is in quick pursuit--both as an enemy warship and from within their own fleet. A plague named Phobos is rapidly spreading, turning its victims into raging, mentally deranged killers. Furthermore, the AI system controlling the battle carrier Alexander appears to have its own agenda, utilizing statistics and cold-hearted logic to eliminate what may pose harm to the fleet.
There were many plot points and characters moving this along, but it never felt overwhelming. The use of documents to tell the story—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, system report updates, and more--was unique and perfectly executed by the full cast. Great tantalizing ending to keep me in the series.
