The final book in the New York Times bestselling trilogy, perfect for fans of Battlestar Galactica and Prometheus! FUELED BY LIES. RULED BY CHAOS. ALMOST HOME. Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed behind. They're ready to start life afresh—to build a home—on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience. But this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight. Amy and Elder must race to discover who—or what—else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed—friends, family, life on Earth—will have been for nothing.

Amy è una passeggera della nave spaziale Godspeed. Ha lasciato il suo ragazzo e gli amici sulla Terra, perché ormai il pianeta non ha più speranza, e sta viaggiando con i suoi genitori congelata in una bara di vetro. Si risveglieranno tra trecento anni, quando la nave arriverà su Terra-Centauri. Niente, però, va come previsto: qualcuno, nel tentativo di ucciderla, la risveglia dal suo sonno di ghiaccio cinquant’anni prima del previsto. Amy si ritrova così a vivere secondo regole completamente diverse, su un’enorme nave in viaggio tra le stelle, in balia di sconosciuti tra cui si nasconde un assassino. L’unico che sembra aiutarla è Elder, il futuro capitano della Godspeed. Lui è potentemente attratto dalla singolare bellezza di Amy, che ha lunghi capelli rossi e la pelle bianchissima, così diversi da chi ha conosciuto fino a quel momento nella sua casa in viaggio nello spazio. Il ragazzo cerca di proteggere Amy, ma Amy può davvero fi darsi di lui? E quello che i due ragazzi provano l’uno per l’altra può aiutarli a capire cosa sta succedendo sulla nave o rischia di metterli ancora più in pericolo?
