Titel: Gemina (Del 2 i The_Illuminae_Files)
Författare: Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Förlag: Knopf
Sidantal: 659
Handling: Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always
going to be the death of Hanna's social life. Nobody said it might
actually get her killed.
The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault.
Hanna is the station captain's pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion.
When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren't just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia--and possibly the known universe--is in their hands.
But relax. They've totally got this. They hope.
Once again told through a compelling dossier of emails, IMs, classified files, transcripts, and schematics, Gemina raises the stakes of the Illuminae Files, hurling readers into an enthralling new story that will leave them breathless.

Jag hade en vision om att läsa tio sidor per dag i denna skönhet och således läsa ut den på två månader. Eftersom den är på engelska visste jag med mig att den skulle bli tung att läsa. Så fel jag hade! tio dagar senare var boken slut.
Bokens upplägg med chattloggar, mejl, beskrivningar av övervakningsfilmer m.m. gör att sidorna flyger förbi och boken känns lättläst även för mig.
I och med att boken är på engelska, så går vissa saker mig förbi på grund av brister i min språkkunskap. Trots det så tycker jag om att hänga med Hanna och hennes äventyr och ser fram emot att läsa del tre i trilogin.
