Here is the Goodreads blurb on the 2012 sequel to Across the Universe:

Godspeed was fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.
It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. And everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.

But when Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that's growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.

In book two of the Across the Universe trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis mesmerizes us again with a brilliantly crafted mystery filled with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.

Back to the Books Giveaway Hop!

Welcome!  Secret of the Stars is an Across the Universe Fansite.  As part of the Back to the Books Giveaway Hop we're giving away a pre-order of Across the Universe in paperback.  This Giveaway is International as long as you live in a country that The Book Depository ships to.  Winner must be over 13 and live somewhere where The Book Depository ships to.  The cover for the paperback is different from the hardcover.  Here is the Goodreads blurb for those who haven't read it yet!

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.


If you still haven't read Across the Universe there is still time to read it before A Million Suns comes out in January!  Happy New School Year Everyone and remember, Amy's favorite subject was history.  Enter to win on the Rafflecopter below and then hop along.  Thanks for hopping by.
