Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to share which books we are most anticipating.
This week I am
waiting on Illuminae by Amie Kaufman
and Jay Kristoff (10/20/15):
Description on Goodreads:
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the
hardest thing she’d have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.
Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

Why I’m Waiting:
I love the other sci-fi series Kaufman coauthors. So this
initially sparked my interest just because of her name. But then, I read that description.
The more I read of it, the more I needed the book. It sounds epic. I love the
idea of it bering written through hacked documents and emails too. So cool. I have not read the other author before
but I know a lot of bloggers who love Kristoff too, so he has to be good. The
cover is okay. Really, it’s the story that sounds so good!
What are you waiting on this week?
Oh yes! This one looks amazing!
