Okay mostly I'm excited this is being released OFFICIALLY so that Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ will finally accept it XD
I won a copy a while back (two copies, actually - I donated the second) and it was a fun little read! Here's the review I originally tacked on to the end of my Illuminae Review.
***
The novella is a prequel, introducing AIDAN before the events of Illuminae. It's a short story but it adds a lot of interesting depth to Aidan's character and the conversations with Olivia were rather intriguing.
There's also a couple of name drops that you'll recognise if you're familiar with the rest of the series.
Despite it being a prequel, I'd definitely recommend reading it AFTER Illuminae, because it gives extra insight and has a more profound effect when you know what's coming.
It was a fun little addition so I'm glad I got a copy! Grateful to Allen & Unwin and Dymocks for the win. :)

I loved Aidan! he deserves his own book :)
