Release Date: January 4, 2011
Summary:
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.

Beth Revis's debut novel Across The Universe sounds A.W.E.S.O.M.E! A sci-fi dystopian novel with a bit of mystery and a little romance thrown in for good measure... need I say more? As for the cover- it's so gorgeous!!

One of the amazing bloggers here saw my (rather pathetic) pining for this book and shipped it to me to read. It'll be glued to my hands after I read Crescendo. Hang in there though! It's coming out super soon. Great choice!
