Aurora Rising - Summary
In this thrilling space opera set in the year 2380, Tyler Jones, a top graduate of Aurora Academy, finds his carefully laid plans derailed when he rescues Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, a mysterious girl frozen in cryo-sleep for two centuries. Instead of leading his dream team, Tyler ends up commanding a squad of misfits - including a sarcastic diplomat, a trigger-happy scientist, a tech genius with attitude problems, a temperamental alien warrior, and a talented pilot who seems immune to his charm. Together, this unlikely crew discovers that Aurora's awakening might trigger an ancient conflict that could destroy the galaxy, forcing them to become humanity's last hope for survival.
