About the book

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.

    I didn't expect much of this book but I was positively surprised. It had a lot of action, suspense and unexpected turns. Definitely one of the best trilogy endings I've read so far. Great book, would recommend this trilogy.

    Also... Wow! Spannend bis zur letzten Seite! Habe meinen Kindle sogar mit aufs Klo genommen, damit ich nicht mit dem Lesen aufhören muss! :D Allerdings fand ich die Tatsache, dass Elder überlebt, sehr offensichtlich und außerdem war es äußerst merkwürdig, dass Amys Körper sofort auf die DNA Veränderung reagiert hat. Ich meine, merkt man sowas nicht erst in der nächsten Generation? oO Nichtsdestotrotz ein gelungenes Ende für die Trilogie, auch wenn die letzten 10-15% nur aus Erklärungen bestanden ;)

    Satisfying conclusion of an intense series. First I was afraid it falls into some YA tropes at the end but it proves me so wrong. Half of the book was an action packed finale and I couldn't help but read it in one session. A lot of the things happened could have been avoided if people just talk to each other, but hey that's a problem even in reality ;-) Totally recommend the series for people interested in Sci-Fi without a lot of tech talk and with reliable characters and some pretty good mystery instead.
