Aurora Rising

The year is 2380. The graduates of the Aurora Military Academy are preparing for their first missions. Star of the class Tyler Jones is ready to assemble a dream team, but a reckless display of heroism leads to the fact that he gets the scum that no one wants in his squad anymore:
— a wayward diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm;
— a reclusive scientist with an unhealthy desire to shoot her dorm roommates;
— a loudmouthed engineer with the most powerful processor in the galaxy on his shoulders;
— an alien warrior with uncontrollable fits of rage;
— a boyish pilot who, suddenly, never likes him at all.

But Tai's biggest problem is not the worthless squad at all, but Aurora Tze-Lin O'Malley, whom he rescued from interdimensional space. After spending two centuries in cryosleep, Aurora, a girl from beyond time and sanity, has the power to spark a war that has been brewing for millions of years. If that happens, the galaxy's last hope will be Tyler's band of misfits, vicious misfits, and mistrustful misfits.
