A Million Suns/Beth Revis/386 pgs.

This is book 2 in the "Across the Universe" trilogy, and is as entertaining as the first. Again, it is told in alternate chapters through the voices of Amy and Elder. Book 1 ended with Amy finding out that it was Elder who "defrosted" her before her time--she should have remained frozen until the spaceship they are on (Godspeed) lands on the new planet. So she has "trust" issues with Elder, along with the problem that someone keeps committing murder and leaves the cryptic message "follow the leader."  Since the majority of the population on board is no longer being drugged into submission, there is confusion, rebellion, etc. Added to this, Elder learns the secret that Godspeed isn't headed toward the new planet--it isn't going anywhere! The book was a little slow in the beginning, but once it picks up speed, it's a race to the end. I'm looking forward to Revis's Shades of Earth scheduled to come out January 2013.
