WoW: Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Posted by Kathy Martin at 5:59 AM
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


I am eagerly awaiting Across the Universe by Beth Revis. This is her debut YA novel and it comes out Jan. 11, 2011.


This book has been on my radar for quite a while. I have already pre-ordered it at Amazon. It has a lovely cover and a terrific premise. I love science fiction, mystery and romance.
A Story of Love, Murder, and Madness Aboard an Enormous Spaceship Bound for the Future


Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed. She expects to wake up on a new planet, 300 years in the future. But fifty years before Godspeed's scheduled landing, Amy's cryo chamber is unplugged, and she is nearly killed.


Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes sense. Godspeed's passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader, and Elder, his rebellious and brilliant teenage heir.


Amy desperately wants to trust Elder. But should she? All she knows is that she must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets before whoever woke her tries to kill again.


Across the Universe is Titanic meets Brave New World.
Doesn't that just sound amazing?

    I (along with 40840383 other bloggers) am dying to read this one, too! Such a great, compelling premise, and since I'm a fan of The Beatles, the title totally got my attention :D

    This sounds like a fantastic book! It reminds me of Star Trek (which I love). I'll have to add this to my TBR list. Great pick!
