***THE NEW YORK TIMES, UK AND AUSTRALIAN BESTSELLING AND AWARD-WINNING SERIES*** 

WINNER OF THE 2019 AUREALIS AWARDS FOR BEST YOUNG ADULT NOVEL AND BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL

Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch:
A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm
A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates
A smart-ass tech-whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder
An alien warrior with anger management issues
A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering.


And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem - that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth and she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making.


Tyler's squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy. NOBODY PANIC.


'Us outsiders gotta stick together.'

Industry Reviews
'High-paced action, perplexing mysteries and laugh-out-loud snark ... virtually un-put-down-able.' The Chronicle (US)

'Has it all: action, thrills, suspense, laughs, and all the feels.' Kirkus (starred review)

'Rotating perspectives and never-flagging energy propel this narrative forward, which, if it wasn't compelling enough on its own, is given illustrious life by its ragtag, always-at-odds cast.' Booklist (starred review)

'In short, loved it loved it loved it. You are all in for thrill ride of epic proportions.' Bella's Review (GoodReads)

'Kaufman and Kristoff have crafted another stellar contemporary sci-fi that celebrates difference, the power of empathy, and learning to let people in. Of course, first and foremost this is an edge-of-your-seat space odyssey with absorbing world building, ancient mysteries, heists (yes, heists!), a healthy dose of sarcasm and plenty of brooding by some unlucky in love squad members ... The perfect read for those who have enjoyed The Illuminae Files, The Arc of Scythe, Six of Crows, or Stranger Things. I highly recommend getting to know the big-hearted group of diverse deviants that comprise Squad 312.' The Younger Sun
