Histoire
It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his 18th year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.
Description
For fans of Marie Lu comes the first book in an epic series that bends the sci-fi genre into a new dimension.
“A truly beautiful novel that redefines the form." (Victoria Aveyard, best-selling author of Red Queen)
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she'd have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations are at war over a planet that's little more than a speck at the edge of the universe. Now, with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra - who are barely even talking to each other - are forced to evacuate with a hostile warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet's AI may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what's really going on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it's clear only person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again.
Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents - including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more - Illuminae is the first audiobook in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.
“Prepare yourselves for Illuminae.” (EW.com)
“[Y]ou’re not in for an ordinary novel experience....” (Bustle.com)
“A truly interactive experience.... A fantastically fun ride.” (MTV.com)
“...stylistically mesmerizing.” (Publishers Weekly)
“[A]n arresting visual experience.” (Booklist)
“[A] game-changer.” (Shelf Awareness)
"Genre: Undefinable. Novel: Unforgettable." (Kami Garcia, best-selling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures and author of Unbreakable)
“An exuberant mix of space opera, romance, zombies, hackers, and political thrills.” (Scott Westerfeld, best-selling author of Zeroes and Uglies)
“Stunningly creative. Smart, funny, and romantic.” (Veronica Rossi, best-selling author of Under the Never Sky)
“This is one of those rare books that will truly keep your heart pounding.” (Beth Revis, best-selling author of Across the Universe)
“This book is xxxxing awesome.” (Laini Taylor, best-selling author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone)
Commentaires
"Brace yourself. You're about to be immersed in a mindscape that you'll never want to leave." (Marie Lu, New York Times best-selling author of the Legend trilogy)
"Ambitious, heartbreaking, and out-of-this-world awesome." (Kirkus Reviews)

Romantic Space Opera
This book is so unique that it is almost impossible to explain it. Told through interviews, emails, instant messages, translated video footage and an AI (Artificial Intelligence) named AIDAN it felt more like a congressional investigation than a YA novel. But don’t be turned off by that explanation. It’s so much more – there is romance, mystery, action, government conspiracies, sci-fi fantasy, etc. It was a unique and wonderful space opera and I loved every minute of this listen. It’s one of the most original books out there today. I bought the print version as well for all the diagrams and pictures that can’t be experienced through audio. This is the rare book that both print and audio come together so perfectly.

AWESOME!
What made the experience of listening to Illuminae the most enjoyable?
The four readers really added to the realization of the story
What other book might you compare Illuminae to and why?
The Pentagon Papers because the book is written like declassified government documents. I've never read a book written like this. It's a pretty cool format!
Any additional comments?
In other reviews, people are commenting that the audio version has been edited and the profanity beeped out. This is not the case. I read the book in ARC. It's is written like a released confidential government report. The swear words are blacked out in the text which is why they are beeped out in the audio. In my opinion, this doesn't ruin the story at all. If a story requires swearing to keep the reader's attention, it's probably not a very good story to begin with. Just saying....😎

Might be a good story but not through audio
They tried, they really tried. Adding a cast of voice actors to bring the characters to life was a great idea, and their performances were good. I wish the audio versions of the Game of Thrones books did this. But, the constant date stamps and, name, stamps? Was constantly distracting.
I stopped listening to this book three times because of the interruptions then returning to try an fish it. I couldn’t do it, I gave up on chapter 44 (out of 100+ chapters). Maybe I’ll pick up a print copy.

Duped by good reviews!!
First of all, the audio is NOT censored by Audible or anyone else, it was written that way. Anyone who thinks so obviously wasn't paying attention because only 2 minutes into the book, the creepy muffled/distorted voice tells us that all the files that make up the story were instructed to have the profanity censored by the UTA (I think that's the government in the book). So you can blame the authors for that one because even the book blacks out the profanity.
I feel very deceived because when I read the reviews the first 25 or so reviews that are displayed are 5 star absolutely rave reviews! Then when you get past all those, the real truth comes out (which I didn't see before I bought the book).
The format was hard to follow and confusing. At least if you were reading the book, rather than listening to it, you would have been able to skim past all of the unnecessary info that is repeated constantly, such as timestamps, dates, and locations, etc.
The writing was very juvenile at best and the characters were irritating. I only made it through 17 chapters (out of 173) and I decided to return it to get my credit back because it was so awful. I saw that other reviewers said that it gets better by the last quarter of the book, but I couldn't even stand one chapter more so I don't know how I could make it through that much more before it actually got interesting, if it even ever did.
The full cast was neat and it did feel like a radio show, but it was just very hard to follow the way it was written.

Best book of the year has the best audio as well
This is by far the best book I have read in 2015 and the audio production is incredible as well.
The full cast adds so much to it and the sound effects build the tension.
The writing in this book is incredible as are the characterizations and the plot. It is smart, funny, and absolutely thrilling.
This is a great choice for anyone who likes adventure, space, love, or humor. It has it all.

Mind + Illuminae = Blown
If you could sum up Illuminae in three words, what would they be?
Cataclysmic
Imaginitive
Awesomeness
Who was your favorite character and why?
I honestly felt the most for AIDAN. I was equally scared of what he might do and remorsing his life playing out
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was when AIDAN and Grant were sharing a moment at the end after the Lincoln arrived and the Infected were trying still to desperately get at her.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Survive the black to show the light
Any additional comments?
This is a re-read for sure. Normally I buy audio books because I think I might take too long to read, but in this case, I'll be looking for a physical copy.

Great Book, Best Ensemble Narrator Recording
I bought two highly rated books on sale. One of the titles drew me in for a first look but unfortunately the main premise was so contrived and unrealistic I couldn't get past the first hour. Who knew the book entitled "Illuminae" was going to rock my world.
Normally I am happy with a single narrator who can cleverly alter their voice. That would not have worked here. This piece was made for an ensemble recording as we get several perspectives from various people and an artificial intelligence via email, interview transcriptions, memos, and recorded security footage.
The added sound effects and occasional piece of music combined with excellent writing made this such an enjoyable ride, I actually carefully controlled my time with the book occasionally stopping and waiting a day to just soak in the moments and not have this great adventure over too quickly. Of course, I've also been known to hoover down the whole bowl of chocolates in one sitting, so starting this at a different time, I might be confessing to a binge listen right now.
An illegal mining colony is brutally attacked by a conglomerate who feel that if they wipe out all the colonists, they won't be held accountable. They are banking on the company doing the illegal mining not wanting to be exposed. Our high school heroine makes it onto a United Terran Authority battle cruiser that happened to be in the area. This damaged ship and a couple of science vessels need to run for it and tell the verse (universe) about this brutal attack. Unfortunately an undamaged conglomerate battleship is chasing them and is destined to catch up.
The wrinkles in this mix are a deadly weaponized virus carried onto one of the ships by the exposed colonists and a damaged Artificial Intelligence responsible for saving lives that decides to destroy the one ship containing the virus for the greater good. All this unfolds with a teenage love story at the center.
The multiple perspectives you get from various players and from people looking at the archived footage makes this a much richer story. If you have never experienced a top notch ensemble narrated piece - get this audio-book. It is certainly a different type of listening experience than most of the single narrated ones that have been the staple for the majority of spoken books.

Super spannend
Ich höre Sciencefiction sehr selten. Und die Geschichte von 2 Jugendlichen, die in einem Raumschiff fliehen, auf dem ein Virus Leute mutieren lässt und der Hauptcomputer einen eigenen Willen hat, klang für mich wie "schon x Mal erzählt". Gehört habe ich das Hörspiel wegen des Awards und der positiven Rezensionen.
Aufgrund der Art wie es produziert wurde,
war es durchgehend spannend und den Schluss habe ich bis in die frühen Morgenstunden gehört. Absolut empfehlenswert.
Neben den verschiedenen Sprechern hört man Geräuche wie Atmen, Lautsprecherdurchsagen, eine computerverzerrte Stimme, die ein bisschen an Darth Vader erinnert, das Piepsen von Geräten, Einschläge von Geschossen u. ä.
Zu Beginn musste ich mich ziemlich konzentrieren, um "Darth Vaders" Stimme zu verstehen, mit der Zeit ging es dann.
Die Geschichte wird in Aufzeichnungen von Chats, Gesprächen, Videoaufnahmen u. ä. geschildert. Die weibliche Hauptperson ist die 17-jährige Kady, die im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Heldinnen voller Tatendrang auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit ist und nicht ständig an sich selbst zweifelt, sondern handelt. Die Liebesgeschichte zwischen ihr und ihrem Ex ist zwar ein wichtiger Teil der Story, aber nicht das alles beherrschende Thema. Dafür haben Kady und Ezra mit viel zu vielen anderen Problemen zu kämpfen, die kontinuierlich auf sie einprasseln. Ich habe mit beiden gebangt, gehofft, geweint und mitgefiebert. Kein Buch das man alleine im Dunkeln hören sollte. Viele Szenen und Charaktere, die ich nicht so schnell vergessen werde.

Hervorragende Sprecher
Tolle Aufmachung, neue interessante Erzählweise und super Qualität.
Furchtbar und tierisch aufgeregt hat mich die Zensur (Zensierung?) der Fluch-/Schimpfwörter, die gefühlt 10% der Gespräche ausmachen und durch Stille ersetzt werden.

gut aber gewöhnungsbedürftig
Ich habe zwei Anläufe benötigt bis ich die Geschichte ganz durch hatte. Die Art Erzählung war gewöhnungsbedürftig und ich weiss nicht ob mir des als "normale" Erzählung besser gefallen hätte. Die Geschichte ist spannend und man möchte wissen wie es weiter geht aber mir fehlte einfach was. Trotzdem hörenswert.

Unglaublich Spannend!
Die Geschichte entwickelt sich wie ein Puzzle, man sieht immer immer nur ein Stück und langsam setzt sich Teil für Teil zusammen. Ich mochte die verschiedenen Stimmen bis auf die knarrzige. Die Raumschiff Atmo ist großartig und ich mag besonders Katie und Aiden. Die letzten 2 Stunden waren wirklich nervenaufreibend und voller Spannung, eine absolute Kaufempfehlung! Ich lade gleich den nächsten Teil runter!!

Quite unique and very fascinating
There us a different voice for each person. I very much liked that. I have never listened to an audiobook that was so intricately made. Can't wait to listen to the sequel Gemina.

Amazing story, amazing audio effects
I read the physical book last year and loved the format and the story. I kept hearing great things about the audio and decided to listen to it before continuing with Gemina, the second book in this series.
I'm not much of an audio book person, but this one blew me away.

Die perfekte Ergänzung zum Buch!
Ich finde, dass man das physische oder zumindest das ebook braucht um das Hörbuch wirklich genießen zu können. Es ist also eine perfekte Ergänzung zum eigentlichen Buch, denn es ist mehr ein Hörspiel als ein Hörbuch.
Man sollte wissen, dass das Buch durch Dokumente wie schriftlichen Mitschnitten von Interviews, E-Mails oder Chats erzählt wird, daher ist das Buch selbst schon speziell und das Hörbuch unterstützt es durch Hintergrundgeräusche und die Erzähler perfekt.
