Das fulminante Finale der grandiosen Space Opera und Bestseller-Trilogie! Was passiert, wenn man einen Haufen Loser und Außenseiter bittet, die Galaxie vor einem uralten, übermächtigen Feind zu retten? Der uralte Feind gewinnt natürlich. Moment mal... Nicht. So. Schnell. Als wir Tyler Jones und sein Squad 312 das letzte Mal erlebten, arbeiteten sie perfekt zusammen (oder rasteten aus), während eine intergalaktische Schlacht tobte und eine uralte Superwaffe das Universum zu vernichten drohte. Natürlich ging alles total schief.

Die Außenseiter sind zurück - irgendwie zumindest... Tyler und seine Squad 312 sind zurück, und dieses Mal sind sie auf der Flucht vor so ziemlich jedem in der Galaxie. Nachdem sie in galaktisches Sperrgebiet eingedrungen sind, ist auf sie ein Kopfgeld ausgesetzt. Ihre Hauptaufgabe besteht aber nicht nur darin, sich selbst zu retten, sondern auch ihre blinde Passagierin Aurora. Diese muss lernen, ihre übernatürlichen Kräfte zu nutzen und ihr Schicksal zu erfüllen. Denn Aurora hat als Einzige den Zugang zu einer Wunderwaffe, die die Zerstörung der Galaxie verhindern kann.

Mentre la Resistenza si oppone alle dure decisioni del Concilio dei Maghi, i soldati gardneriani piombano sull'Università... guidati nientemeno che da Lukas Grey, ora comandante della vicina base militare.

Her blood is toxic to vampires. If there is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it's to get off the iceberg she calls home. Being kissed before she graduates wouldn't hurt either. Then a near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Government agents step in and save Aurora's life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter in Alaska. Basically she's a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type, which sends a vampire into temporary paralysis right before she has to finish the job - by hand....

Five strangers will stumble upon one another as they are carrying on with their day. But when their seemingly normal day going about making new friends turns into a deadly serious hostage situation, will this newly found group of complete strangers rise to the occasion and save the day? Or, will it all end in disaster? They are the Dragon Squad of Aurora Mountain, and this is only the beginning of the many trials, tribulations, and adventures to come.

The only thing Rachel Hingis hated more than swimming was having to play well with others. Edgar Fern, nerd extraordinaire, couldn't find anyone to play with.

The victims of an accidental experiment deep in the corn fields of Iowa, they and four others - Alex, Celeste, Laura and Susan - were changed, and not necessarily for the better.

Aurora has spent the past year fighting for survival, freedom, and justice. Now she's about to face the biggest battle of her life. Field agents are turning up dead and everyone is working to stop Jared before he starts a full-blown war between vampires and hunters.

It's a cat-and-mouse game across the Last Frontier, with agents and vampires out for blood while Fane searches desperately to find Aurora before rogue vampires do. The hunters have become the hunted. And the road to freedom has never felt more uncertain.
