It's the same nail biting, highstakes, tense sci-fi survival story as the first. Just over a much shorter period of time, days and hours instead of the months in the first book.
Just as amazing as the first book if not better!😁

In this book we meet Hanna & Nik and watch them take on a BioTech team sent to take over the Heimdall station. Faced with a deadly team of soldiers, slimy predators, and a malfunctioning wormhole, Hanna and Nik have their work cut out for them.
So many stressful situations that again kept me on the edge of my seat. Some twists and turns I figured out and others took me by surprise. This series continues to be amazing and I definitely recommend!

I thought it couldn't get more chaotic than the first book. Well, buckle up, buckaroo, because it did. I loved every second of this almost 700 page long book and do not regret all the brain cells I lost to it. I can't wait for both groups to come together in the third book and probably get more chaotic.
February 22nd, 2024 - February 26th, 2024.
“Patience and Silence had one beautiful daughter. And her name was Vengeance.”
“Your kind have perfected the clockwork of murder long ago.”
“You might get only one shot. So shoot. You know who said that?"
The rifle clatters to the bloody floor.
"Hanna FUCKING Donnelly. That's who.”

It's always a gamble when you're talking about a second book in a series with completely different characters. For many readers, including myself, the characters are one of the driving factors that get me to pick up a book.
Having fallen in love with Kady, Ezra, and AIDAN, I was shocked to find that I was immediately as drawn into Gemina as I had been to Illuminae, despite the completely new cast of characters.
The Illuminae Files will forever be one of my favorite series.
