![]() ![]() The Australian cowriters, both residents of Melbourne, started the book as a no-holds-barred lark, writing mostly for the joy of it, not sure whether a book with this unconventional format would ever be picked up by publishers. Kaufman and Kristoff tell the story through hacked documents-thus the "files" in the series name-which include medical reports, emails, military data, and more. Set more than 500 years in the future, it centers on two exes who are caught in the middle of an interplanetary war between rival megacorporations. Together they have masterminded a genre-bending new story shape in this month's Illuminae, the first book of The Illuminae Files trilogy. Separately they've already created expansive, absorbing worlds- Jay Kristoff in his Japanese-inspired steampunk fantasy series, The Lotus War, and Amie Kaufman in her New York Times bestselling sci-fi/fantasy series, Starbound, cowritten with Meagan Spooner. ![]()
