About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Loved the entire book but im kind of torn on the ending, but dont worry I won't ruin it for the rest of you. I felt like I was watching a really good show and every time it got to the best part it would go to commercial (in this case the next chapter haha) loved the journey.

I have read your whole series 3 times now and I still love it. Could you PLEASE make a 4th book I am torn how it ends. I want to know what happens to them.

I wish the series didn't have to end, such a good trilogy, I'll be looking forward to more books from the author though.
