Author -  Beth Revis ( Profile )

Release Date - 11th of Jan 2011

Genre - Dystopian/ Sci-fi/ Fantasy

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 awake 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 a 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.

Character Profiles

There are two main characters, Amy and Elder, and the book is told in alternating POVs.



Name: Amy Martin
Age: 17 years old
Birthplace: Florida, Earth
Physical description: Long red hair, pale skin, green eyes
Goals in life: To run in the NY Marathon, to be happy with her family and friends
Background: Amy likes running and races competitively at her high school…until her parents become a part of a mission for the first interstellar space trip. Amy chooses to be cryogenically frozen so she can go on the mission with her parents. In 300 years, she’s supposed to wake up with her parents on a new world. Problem is, someone woke her fifty years too early…


Name: Elder
Age: 16 years old
Birthplace: Godspeed, an interstellar space ship
Physical description: Brown hair, skin, and eyes
Goals in life: To become a good, strong leader of the ship, following in the footsteps of generations of Eldests.
Background: Elder wants nothing more than to prove himself as a leader. But just as his training begins, problems start up on the ship. Elder, as well as the rest of the over 2,000-strong crew, was born on Godspeed. What he didn’t know was that there were a hundred cryogenically frozen people on a secret level of the ship just below his feet. When one of the people—a striking red head who stands out amongst the monoethnic crew—wakes up fifty years early, her arrival is only the beginning of a whole new set of problems…including a murderer who unplugs and kills more frozens like Amy…
