?But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. Everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. When I finished A Million Suns, I immediately started reading Shades of Earth.Summary Book 2 in the New York Times bestselling trilogy, perfect for fans of Battlestar Gallactica and Passengers ! GODSPEED WAS FUELED BY LIES. It became very hard to put the book down once I found out that they had already reached Centauri-Earth. I admit that the book was a little bit thrilling but it wasn’t what I expected. Because she hated Godspeed, she didn’t understand that the people did not experience a life outside the ship walls and couldn’t understand that they wanted to be left there instead of going with them to Centauri-Earth. She acted like a typical teenager who expected everything to be the same as it was on earth. I felt Elder’s frustration and hopelessness in trying to control a ship with 2,000 plus souls older than him and expecting him to solve all their problems. I thought A Million Suns was okay and a little bit fast paced than the first book. When it became available at the Los Angeles Public Library, I decided to borrow it. I didn’t enjoy Across the Universeas much as I hoped and I was dragging to read the sequel. That is until both of them find out that they have reached Centauri-Earth.

As Amy follows the clues, it becomes apparent that she and Elder are slowly drifting apart. While Elder tries to pacify the shipborns and to prevent a mutiny, secrets are revealed. Amy finds out that Orion had been leaving her clues as to the secret to Godspeed. It is also at this time that Amy is given a wi-com by Doc which was made by Orion. Naturally, chaos ensues as the shipborns slowly “wake up” from the influence of Phydus. At this point, they have gotten rid of Phydus and stopped Orion from killing off all the frozen military personnel on Godspeed. The sequel to Across the Universe, A Million Sunsstarts three months after Amy Martin woke up from being frozen the Cryo level.
