Aurora Rising was a clever, thrilling space adventure. Aurora Burning blows its predecessor out of the water! 

Opening pretty much where Rising left off, Burning returns to Squad 312 and their attempts to stop a parasitic alien race from destroying the Universe. 

Squad 312 are some of my favourite characters from any book ever. I felt in the first book that there wasn't enough focus on Finian and Zila, so it felt like they fell by the wayside as side characters. However, in this book both were given a real opportunity to shine, and boy did they manage it. All of the characters in the Squad are fantastic - distinct and memorable - and in this book their budding relationships (both platonic and romantic) really start to take root. The heart of this story is definitely the idea of found family, and it Aurora Burning delivers this with such flair you can't help but love it. 

Kaufman and Kristoff are brilliant when it comes to weaving high octane adventure with humour. The plot is non-stop action and THAT ENDING... Maker's breath!

This book will be posted to Goodreads two weeks before its release, and Amazon, Waterstones and any other relevant bookseller websites on the day of release.

Based on the first book, I'm sure that this would have been another good read but sadly the text is not available as kindle-compatible and, therefore, I am unable to access it. I was unaware that it would be encrypted pdf only and don't want to leave it unreviewed so I am giving a 4 star review as I anticipate it to be a high rating read when I can get a published copy.

So sorry, I would loved to have read this as I am a big fan of Kristoff. Unfortunately couldn't download the  pdf and there is not a kindle option I am sure it would be a very good read judging by previous offerings. I did make an attempt to download it but it appeared as a garbled text which was totally unreadable. I gave a 4 star rating so the system would allow me to explain why I have not been able to give a review.
