Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
This is the first book in the trilogy of The Illuminae Files and was written by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. It starts with Kady Grant breaking up with Ezra, she thinks this will be the worst thing that she will go through in her life. That was before her home planet is invaded by Military forces, with the enemy fire raining down on them Kady and Ezra are forced to fight their way onto a ship evacuating craft.
The warships are the least of there problems, a deadly plague has broken out and it mutating with horrific results and the fleets AI, which should be protecting the crews could actually be the crews biggest threat. When the lower members of the crew are asking questions nobody in charge will actually give any explanations of what is happening. Kady finds herself plunging into the web of data hacking to find the information which will led her to the truth. It soon becomes clear that there is only one individual who can help her find the truth about what is going on.
This story is being told in a unique way by using a fascinating dossier of the hacked documents, psych assessments and documents showing what the heads of the fleets are doing to try and stop this information being leaked. I actually enjoyed the way that this book is presented and the way that the story flows and explains the first part of the story contained in the trilogy. I love the way that Amie and Jay have written this together and I like their individual works as well. i am excited to see where the story of Kady, Ezra and the other survivors progress between the chapters of the trilogy. I would hope that the writing style continues through all chapters.
