A Million Suns

In this sequel to Beth Revis's book Across the Universe, our main characters must grow up! Now that Amy has realized that she isn't getting off the Godspeed and all her hopes are lost, she must decide if she will wake up her parents. Oh and decide what her true feelings about Elder are. Elder has bigger problems. After freezing Orion in the Cryo tube,  he must take command of a ship that is no longer under the influence of Phydus- a drug that causes the population of the ship to be much like complacent sheep. He ability to rule is under constant question and rebellions begin to form. But then Amy starts getting clues from Orion. He has left her a huge secret which will force her and Elder to make life changing decisions. All is working against them and even Elder isn't sure what his decision should be. Amy, on the other hand, does not waver in her belief that they MUST get off the ship. As the body count rises and time grows short, Amy follows the clues to the shattering secret. And that's when all hell breaks loose. I must say that after the first book, I let this one sit on my shelf for a while. (So long even, that the final book is out in paperback in a couple of weeks) I was depressed at the idea that Amy was going to be trapped on a ship for the rest of her life. But this book was filled with action, adventure and a growing love story. As the characters are on the brink of a new life filled with uncertainty, I am looking forward to seeing what this new chapter will bring for Amy, Elder and Orion. Will the hero get the girl? Will they live happily ever after? Will they have made the right decision? Stay tuned and happy reading my friends!
