SHORTLISTED: 2024 Sara Douglass Award for Best Series, Aurealis Awards

A NYT, PW, Australian and a #1 international bestseller!

Our heroes are back to save the day. Kind of. 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. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother. 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. 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.

'There is nothing as painful, or as simple, as doing what is right.'
