This review kind of makes it sound like I didn't love this book, but believe me, I did.Įlder is okay, I guess. This last installment was just as brill as the two books that came before. Even so, it's a major page turner that kept me up late into the night. It's fast-paced, almost a thriller, but doesn't quite reach this level. It's not often we get to experience an entirely new planet, and it was fun to try that in this novel. I love a good sci-fi series, especially the wild ones. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed-friends, family, life on Earth-will have been for nothing. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.Īmy and Elder must race to discover who-or what-else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. They're ready to start life afresh-to build a home-on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience.īut this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed behind.
