Plot: When Amy sinks into the ice of her cryo chamber on the Project Ark Ship, she plans to land in her new home 300 years in the future and assist her parents in creating the ideal new Earth. Waken 50 years early, that plan is no longer feasible. Amy was unplugged.
Elder is the next leader of the Godspeed spacecraft, due to begin his reign ate passing of the current dictator, Eldest. His duty is to protect the passengers aboard the ship through tyranny. He was the one who unplugged the girl with the fiery hair in the cryo chamber.
When chaos begins to erupt and shatters the ships perfect order, the pair must determine if peace is really the product of the tainted spacecraft; and if it's not, how to overthrow Eldest.
Review: Across the Universe is a rare perfection of a novel. Composed of irreplaceable poetic elements, a fragile, budding, romance, and a riot that could put existence in jeopardy; Revis has created a sci-fi work to battle that of it's predecessors. This modern take on the genre offers something fresh and real: delivering such an image that leaves a battle between fact and imagination.
5 Stars hardly summarizes how easy this novel was to fall for.
