Book Overview

Book 1 in the New York Times bestselling trilogy, perfect for fans of Battlestar Gallactica and Prometheus WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO SURVIVE ABOARD A SPACESHIP FUELED BY LIES? Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the spaceship Godspeed. She has left her boyfriend, friends--and planet--behind to join her parents as a member of Project Ark Ship. Amy and her parents believe they will wake on a new planet, Centauri-Earth, three hundred years in the future. But fifty years before Godspeed' s scheduled landing, cryo chamber 42 is mysteriously unplugged, and Amy is violently woken from her frozen slumber. Someone tried to murder her. Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes sense. Godspeed's 2,312 passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader. And Elder, Eldest's rebellious teenage heir, is both fascinated with Amy and eager to discover whether he has what it takes to lead. Amy desperately wants to trust Elder. But should she put her faith in a boy who has never seen life outside the ship's cold metal walls? All Amy knows is that she and Elder must race to unlock Godspeed 's hidden secrets before whoever woke her tries to kill again. This description may be from another edition of this product.

To be honest with you when I read the synopsis I thought this book had some similarities to the movie Passengers which I surprisingly loved. So of course I automatically added it to my "to read" list. Across the Universe was a very slow starting book. It was a little weird to get used to the way they talked and wrap your head around the way things were aboard the ship. I actually wasn't sure I wanted to read the next one until...
