Across the Universe (Across the Universe #1)by Beth Revis
Description:
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 awaken 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 the 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.
My Review:
I picked this little gem up from the library a short time ago, and I must say, it’s fantastic!
Based on the 10k plus number of reviews on Goodreads, I feel that I may be joining the fandom a bit late, but better late than never!
I very much enjoyed the young romance paired with the sci fi and the sociopolitical themes. The author nails it, both on the scientific believability and the emotional investment I felt as the book progressed. I’m almost afraid to pick up the second one, but I probably will.
The audio was great, but I think this one would read well, too.
Overall, highly recommended. There’s a lot of depth to this.
