Review: A Million Suns by Beth Revis

God­speed was fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.

It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. And every­where she looks, she sees the walls of the space­ship God­speed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed lead­er­ship of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision — no more Phy­dus, no more lies.

But when Elder dis­cov­ers shock­ing news about the ship, he and Amy race to dis­cover the truth behind life on God­speed. They must work together to unlock a puz­zle that was set in motion hun­dreds of years ear­lier, unable to fight the romance that's grow­ing between them and the chaos that threat­ens to tear them apart.

In book two of the Across the Uni­verse tril­ogy, New York Times best­selling author Beth Revis mes­mer­izes us again with a bril­liantly crafted mys­tery filled with action, sus­pense, romance, and deep philo­soph­i­cal ques­tions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending con­clu­sion: They have to get off this ship. Con­tinue read­ing →

Review: Across the Universe by Beth Revis

A love out of time. A space­ship built of secrets and murder.

Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her par­ents as frozen cargo aboard the vast space­ship God­speed and expects to awake on a new planet, three hun­dred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slum­ber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into a brave new world of a space­ship that lives by its own rules.

Amy quickly real­izes that her awak­en­ing was no mere com­puter mal­func­tion. Someone—one of the few thou­sand inhab­i­tants of the spaceship—tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn’t do some­thing soon, her par­ents will be next. Now, Amy must race to unlock Godspeed’s hid­den secrets.

But out of her list of mur­der sus­pects, there’s only one who mat­ters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen com­ing. Con­tinue read­ing →
