Shelfology Book Pairing

by Amie Kaufman

A New York Times Bestseller Now in paperback, the second edge-of-your-seat installment in the New York Times bestselling series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, called "stylistically mesmerizing" and "out-of-this-world-awesome" by reviewers. 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.

La giada è la linfa vitale dell'isola di Kekon: estratta, venduta, rubata, e soprattutto usata da secoli dai guerrieri Ossa Verdi come la famiglia Kaul per potenziare le loro abilità marziali e difendere l'isola dagli invasori stranieri. Ormai le guerre sono finite e la nuova generazione di Kaul, a capo del clan Zero Vette, vuole solo proteggere i propri affari e dominare il mercato della giada. È un mondo in rapido cambiamento nel quale le antiche tradizioni d'onore non hanno più posto. E quando spunta una nuova droga che permette a chiunque di maneggiare la giada, la tensione tra il clan Zero Vette e i rivali della Montagna esplode con violenza. È in gioco il destino di tutte le Ossa Verdi, e dell'intera Kekon.
