2380, Aurora Academy graduates receive their first assignments. Brilliant student Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but due to the will of his slow-witted heroism, he is forced to be stuck with the scum that no one would choose at the Academy.. A self-confident diplomat with a black belt for sarcasm. The scientist is a sociopath with a predilection for shooting his colleagues. The smart guy is a techie with the largest shrapnel in his shoulder in the galaxy. An alien warrior with anger management problems. The pilot is a badass who is not at all in love with his commander, if anyone is interested. And the squad Ty's biggest problem isn't his biggest problem yet - it's all about Aurora Tse-Lin O'Malley, the girl he saved in the space between dimensions. Immersed in cryosleep for two centuries, Avri is a girl out of time and out of her element. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war, and Tyler's band of misfits could become the galaxy's last hope. They are not the heroes we deserve. They are only those who turned up at hand. Let's not panic.
