Publisher's summary
The Breakfast Club meets Guardians of the Galaxy in this YA sci-fi adventure by debut author M. K. England.
Hotshot pilot Nax Hall has a history of making poor life choices. So it’s not exactly a surprise when he’s kicked out of the elite Ellis Station Academy in less than 24 hours. But Nax’s one-way trip back to Earth is cut short when a terrorist group attacks the Academy.
Nax and three other washouts escape - barely - but they’re also the sole witnesses to the biggest crime in the history of space colonization. And the perfect scapegoats.
On the run, Nax and his fellow failures plan to pull off a dangerous heist to spread the truth. Because they may not be “Academy material”, and they may not even get along, but they’re the only ones left to step up and fight.
Full of high-stakes action, subversive humor, and underdogs becoming heroes, this YA sci-fi adventure is perfect for fans of Illuminae, Heart of Iron, or the cult-classic TV show Firefly and is also a riveting thrill ride that anyone - not just space nerds - can enjoy.

Story
Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg. The egg—as eggs are wont to do—decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of “spinster and general wallflower” and into the unprecedented position of “spinster and keeper of dragons.” But England has not seen a dragon since…well, ever.

My name is Killian Dunn. I'm eighteen, a high school senior, a gamer, and, oh yeah, the Harbinger of the Apocalypse. Not exactly what I had in mind as a career path. Reality took a nosedive when Armageddon came knocking. It brought with it classes, levels, and skills, as well as a horde of Lovecraftian abominations to use them on. I never wanted any of this, but the sick god who orchestrated this whole nightmare has my family. Their lives are forfeit if I refuse to play his game. The prize? A wish. With it, I can protect my family, fix everything that's broken, and save the world.

Citadel is the only human city on the alien planet Edalide, ruled by the biweekly tides that bring both deadly danger and much-needed resources. But the drowning waters, constant threat of starvation, and eternal cold aren’t the most dangerous challenge. For the Flooded Forest is ruled by demons: monsters from Hell sent by their vengeful god as penance for their ancestors’ rebellion. To save their souls and return to their former glory, Citadel must kill every single one. Or so they believe.

Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they're worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.

Black Ops - the intelligence arm of the Meridian Alliance Fleet came calling with an offer Henricksen couldn't refuse: a ship - an entire squadron of ships, actually - and crew to command. A chance to get back to the stars. Too bad he didn't ask more questions before accepting the assignment. Too bad no one told him just how dangerous this particular skunkworks project was. They call the ship the RV-N: Reconnaissance Vessel-Non-combat, Raven for short. A stealth ship - fast, and maneuverable, and brutal as hell.

Marsalis is one of a new breed...literally. Genetically engineered by the U.S. government to embody the naked aggression and primal survival skills that centuries of civilization have erased from humankind, Thirteens were intended to be the ultimate military fighting force. The project was scuttled, however, when a fearful public branded the supersoldiers dangerous mutants, dooming the Thirteens to forced exile on Earth's distant, desolate Mars colony. But Marsalis found a way to slip back.

Diverse story that isn't queer baiting!
This book was a good story over and I really loved the diverse characters. It is important for young readers to have representation and I think this book does a great job of doing that and not veering from the story. There was the perfect amount of diverse race, genders, sexualities. All that said, the story was still great! It has everything you want in a book. It was funny, heartfelt, and exciting,

Wow!
This was an adrenaline ride from start to finish, with just enough flirting and banter in the moments when no one was being shot at to have people rooting for Team Case and Team Ryan. I was absolutely shocked to learn this was a debut, as the characters were all fleshed out, the world(s) were well-built, the plot was perfect, and the dialogue was spot-on. Great book! I saw in a tweet by the author that this is a stand-alone (yes, the book is that good that I Twitter-stalked the author) and that bit of news is my sole disappointment. I need more of the Kick and its crew!
James Fouhey did an excellent job narrating. Five stars all around!

There is no such thing as a “gravity shadow,” but it was an entertaining story anyway. Very Firefly-esque, but with kids. I wonder if The Kick will fly again?

Liked the story line but
The story was ok, however I am not crazy about the swear words or the unique romantic triangle. I did like the the story of the underdogs saving the day.

My favorite book of 2020 so far! Fantastic!
I loved every minute of this book! Between the found family of a diverse cast of characters and incredible narration by James Fouhey, this book really is the perfect mash-up of The Breakfast Club and Guardians of the Galaxy. I highly recommend it!

Fabulous!
A great adventure for those who love Star Wars and Firefly. It was an excellent mix of comedy, drama and sci-fi. Plus it was very inclusive of all types of people which I loved.

Fantastic Book
I absolutely loved listening to this book. Scifi like this, Mortal Engines, Read Player 1 etc. is one of my favorite genres. The story is funny, interesting, and action packed. Never a dull moment. I sincerely hope the author writes a sequel and honestly, could see it being a great movie, too.

Fantastic queer YA sci-fi
My only complaint is the prevalence of nods to other sci-fi works. Great, fun read, and the narrator does an excellent job of helping build the world with his characterizations.
Representation matters, and it's nice to find it without being beat over the head with it.
I look forward to Disasters #2!
