      An alternate cover of this edition can be found here . Legend speelt zich af in het Los Angeles van 2130, dat ondergelopen is na een overstroming. De 15-jarige June, telg uit de elite van de Republiek, is een wonderkind. Ze is gehoorzaam en loyaal en wordt dan ook klaargestoomd voor een van de belangrijkste functies in de militaire rangorde van haar land. De eveneens 15-jarige Day, geboren in een sloppenwijk, is de meest gezochte crimineel van de Republiek. Normaal gesproken zouden hun wegen zich nooit kruisen, maar dat gebeurt wel als de broer van June, een belangrijke militair, wordt vermoord en Day de hoofdverdachte is. De overheid opent de jacht op hem. Een ultiem kat-en-muisspel tussen June en Day gaat van start: zij wil haar broers dood wreken, terwijl hij probeert uit handen van de overheid te blijven en intussen ook nog zijn familie wil redden van een mysterieuze epidemie. Maar dan komt June erachter dat de overheid iets met haar broers dood te maken heeft en er alles aan doet om dat verborgen te houden.

      Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna’s 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 captain’s 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 aren’t 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.

    • From bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes the exciting finale in the trilogy that broke the mold and has been called stylistically mesmerizing and out-of-this-world-awesome. Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship, Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza--but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion? Meanwhile, Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance. When Rhys--an old flame from Asha's past--reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heros will fall, and hearts will be broken.
