I liked Aurora Rising well enough to check out its sequel, Aurora Burning. And since the first one ended with the squad coming together and actually working as a team (and since that’s my favorite part of any ensemble piece) I figured the second one would be all about Squad 312 versus the galaxy. Aurora Burning (2020) Written By: Jay…

I had a great deal of fun with the first two books, and with the whole COVID madness thing in the world, I’d forgotten that April was the release date for the final book. Until I remembered.
