Mais quand le vaisseau spatial qui les transporte s'écrase, ils se retrouvent seuls, sur une planète déserte, et doivent unir leurs forces pour survivre.
Mais le plus grand danger qui les guette n'est-il pas leur attirance mutuelle, aberration dans la société dont ils sont issus ?
Pourtant, quand d'étranges visions commencent à les assaillir, menaçant leur clairvoyance et leur intégrité, ils doivent baisser leur garde. S'il ne veulent pas perdre la tête, ils doivent se faire confiance et cesser de jouer leur rang. S'abandonner et se confier, littéralement, l'un à l'autre. Quitte à se laisser submerger par leurs sentiments les plus enfouis. jusqu'à la passion qui pourrait bien être la clé de leur survie.

A New York Times Bestseller Now in paperback, the second edge-of-your-seat installment in the New York Times bestselling series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, called "stylistically mesmerizing" and "out-of-this-world-awesome" by reviewers. Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hannas social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed. The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault. Hanna is the station captains pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall , carrying news of the Kerenza invasion. When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik arent just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia --and possibly the known universe--is in their hands. But relax. They've totally got this. They hope. Once again told through a compelling dossier of emails, IMs, classified files, transcripts, and schematics, Gemina raises the stakes of the Illuminae Files, hurling readers into an enthralling new story that will leave them breathless.
