Aurora Rising

It is the year 2380 and the senior cadets of Aurora Academy are going to receive their first mission. Star student, Tyler Jones, is ready to recruit his dream squad, but his ridiculous heroism means he has to settle for a team no one else at the academy would want to accept: An arrogant diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm. A sociopathic scientist with a penchant for shooting her colleagues. The most belligerent technology genius in the entire galaxy. An alien warrior with problems controlling his anger. A pilot who, in case you were wondering, has no feelings for Tyler. Nothing at all. Plus, Tyler's squad isn't even his biggest problem: that's what Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he just rescued from interdimensional space, is there for. Trapped in cryogenic sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl outside of time and out of place. However, she could be the catalyst for a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, disciplinarians, and misfits could be the entire galaxy's last hope...
