Brace yourself for Gemina — the highly anticipated sequel to the book critics called “out-of-this-world awesome,” — featuring journal illustrations by best-selling author Marie Lu!

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 best seller Illuminae continues onboard 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 listeners into an enthralling new story that will leave them breathless.

Narrated by Carla Corvo, MacLeod Andrews, Steve West, Erik Davies, Lisa Cordileone, and a full cast.

Awesome

This was my first time listening to an audiobook, Gemina left me speechless and had me on the edge of my seat.

STILL SO GOOD

I loved this book however I couldn't give it 5 stars like I did Illuminae. My problem is that though some of the book was different however I did see some parallels in both books. I still really enjoyed it and addicted to what was happening. Not going to say what they were because spoils are not needed.
Hanna isn't want I expected at first because she was a spoiled rich girl. However Hana does have some fight in her. Thanks to her father who is a military man and is captain of the Heimdall Jump Station. Which comes in handy with her ship gets invaded by paid assassins. And boy does she kick butts. Then there's Nik who is comes from a drug family who technical isn't on the ship. I just loved him and he reminds me of Ezra who hides being scared behind humor. Now these two have to work together. Then we have our tech girl on the Himdall Ella who is also Nik's cousin and simply love her.
Also on top of the assassins we of course have a another problem on the ship. That being not zombies but parasite worms. Which didn't have as big of part in these book. It was more of outsmarting the killers which was fun and loved when they up them.
This book has a couple twist that did take me by surprise. The end makes me really excited to know how the third book is going to be set up. Because we have Hanna and Nik please the characters from the first book. Banning together for a common goal. So yeah am excited.

Amazing!!!

I cannot recommend this series enough! Both the written form and this audiobook--Gemina is a work of art.

Uncensored Version please

Great except for all the muting of swear words. I'm an adult I can take a bit of swearing. Great story, great voice acting.

Better and better

This series just keeps getting better can’t wait for the next installment of the series to see what happens to our hero/heroines

Keeps getting better

This book is even better than the first. It's action packed with twist that will keep you wanting to know what's going to happen next. Great series looking forward to listening to the next book. The performances were exceptional!

Bliss...

When Gemina started I thought we were gonna continue immediately where we left off in Illuminae and I was correct to an extent but without Kady, Ezra and AIDAN for the first 400+ pages of the book. What was in those 400+ pages you ask well a introduction to new characters that honestly you will fall in love with Hanna, Nik, and Ella are all so well written and so interesting to learn about their stories.

the performances on the audio book are all grade A with a full cast. You should also own the physical/ebook as well there is so much thought put into all the reports/art

You will find that this book is well....

Bliss.....

Excellent follow up to a great sequel

I thought the stylized version of how Gemina was done based off the first book was going to wear itself thin. I’m happy to say that not only was it done brilliantly and just as fun to go thru but the story was compelling enough to make you want to know what happens next.

Great performances, one of the better modern sci-fi tales I’ve had the pleasure to read in a while.

It just gets better!

Amazing! I can’t believe this series has turned out to be so amazing. It truly just gets better. I haven’t found a riveting book in a while. I’m so happy to have found such a riveting series.
