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.


This story is so different from any other I have read and I loved it! The beginning started out a little slow but it picked up speed really quickly and turned out to be a huge page turner. This story is about a girl named Amy who has boarded a spaceship called Godspeed on a 300 year long journey to a different home. Amy has been put in a storage type of place that freezes people for 300 years. Elder is a teenage guy who will be the next captain of the ship and him and Amy meet by a freak event. Someone has thawed Amy to drown her but luckily Elder was there to help her so she wouldn't die. They both soon find out that someone on the ship is trying to murder these people and it's up to Amy and Elder to find out who the murderer is so they will stop before they reach her parents who are also frozen. Love, mystery, and page turning drama makes this book an amazing story that no one can put down.
