Summary

Our heroes are back...kind of. From the best-selling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second audiobook in the epic Aurora Cycle series about a squad of misfits, losers and discipline cases who just might be the galaxy's best hope for survival.

First, the bad news: an ancient evil - you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal - is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first.

Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favourite faces.

And the cadre of illegit GIA Agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri.

Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted.

When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV.

Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes - and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

THAT Ending

After re-reading Aurora Rising I jumped straight into Aurora Burning. I love Squad 312. They are a bunch of misfits that wouldn't normally give each other the time of day. Being thrown together the way they were and going through all that they have, have made this squad very special.

One of the characters I was very excited to hear more from and about was Zila. In the first book, Zila has very little to say and she was the one character who's story I thought we needed. Well, Amie and Jay definitely delivered on that one! what a story Zila has. It was absolutely heartbreaking. With Kal's sister showing up we learn a lot about his childhood. We also learn more about the rest of the squad too. We get to learn more about some than others but that was the way with the first book. Each character tells their story at just the right time.

As with the first audiobook, the cast does an amazing job. The characters and voices are just so well matched. If you can listen to the audio of this book because these narrators really bring the story to life!

This book has a lot of mystery in it and I for one cannot wait to explore it even more! The ending was such a big cliffhanger that I am just dying for book 3 now. These two sure know how to break a girl's heart! What makes it worse is knowing that Amie and Jay have already written it and I can't have it yet. I mean I think it's in edits or something but I'd take it if I could!

Loved it.

I love the different voices for the different characters.
You have to keep your wits about you with this one as there are many twists and turns, as well as a number of surprises & a humdinger cliffhanger ending. Roll on the next installment!!

Wonderful


Loved it so very much! Great full cast recording, perfectly cast - can't say anything better! (Of course, the novel is exquisite but I've reviewed that separately)

Ok I lied when I said I didn't rate sci-fi (cont.)

WOW I absolutely LOVE this series so far (and have enjoyed it way more than I'd ever thought I would because hey, I am very particular about my science fiction and honestly didn't think this would float my boat. Sure there are some twists you can arguably call before they happen, but then there's another few which catch you totally off guard (or they did for me anyway!). Again, the different narrators and the sound effects really nailed this story and made it a fun and immersive listen. Would recommend this series to anyone (even people like me who aren't mad on sci-fi, you may surprise yourself). May be worth waiting til the next book is out though... Unless you're again like me and enjoy torturing yourself by starting a series that isn't yet complete and having to impatiently wait heck knows how long for the next instalment... Sigh.

Another hit

This book didn’t disappoint. Another great story with brilliant performances. Nothing like being left desperately waiting for the final book to come.

Love the Aurora series

I am never disappointed when it comes to Jay Kristoffs books being turned into audiobooks because the storytelling is always amazing and the narrators for each character are phenomenal! Not as awesome as the Illuminae Files but still hella good! If you haven't listened to these books I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed!
