Gemina - Paperback continues the space opera begun in Illuminae, picking up just five minutes after the gripping finale. In this YA science fiction adventure, Hanna Donnelly, the station captain’s daughter, and Nik Malikov, a reluctant member of a notorious crime family, find themselves aboard Heimdall—the galaxy’s most boring space station—where danger arrives with the news of the Kerenza invasion delivered by the starship Hypatia. For teen and young adult readers who crave high-stakes action, sharp wit, and brave hearts, Gemina offers a cinematic escape filled with suspense, loyalty, and hope. Written with a brisk, cinematic rhythm, the story pulls you from one tense moment to the next as Hanna and Nik contend with shifting loyalties and looming threats aboard Heimdall. The experience blends fast-paced action with character-driven moments of trust and courage, so the stakes feel personal even as the galaxy looms large. Two gripping perspectives from Hanna and Nik drive the story Tense space-station setting aboard Heimdall with interstellar stakes Fast-paced, cinematic storytelling with twists and emotional beats Themes of loyalty, resilience, and brave choices under pressure Accessible young adult science fiction that blends action with character growth Gemina continues the page-turning saga after Illuminae After finishing Gemina, readers are left with a sense of courage, ingenuity, and the lasting belief that connections can change the course of survival—even in the darkest corners of space.
