THE NEW YORK TIMES, UK AND AUSTRALIAN BESTSELLING AND AWARD-WINNING SERIES

WINNER OF THE 2019 AUREALIS AWARDS FOR BEST YOUNG ADULT NOVEL AND BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL

Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch: A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates A smart-ass tech-whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder An alien warrior with anger management issues A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering.

And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem - that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth and she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making.

Tyler's squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy. NOBODY PANIC.

'Us outsiders gotta stick together.'
