Beth Revis

    Beth Revis píše knihy. Jejich diela sa vyznačujú hlbokým skúmaním ľudskej povahy a často sa zameriavajú na témy straty a nájdenia zmyslu. Revis pristupuje k svojim príbehom s citom pre detail a vytvára tak pohlcujúci čitateľský zážitok. Jej jedinečný štýl je často popisovaný ako melancholický, ale zároveň plný nádeje.

      MY sa spolu s rodičmi dá zamraziť a naložiť na vesmírnu loď Pamodaj. Opustí svojho priateľa, kamarátov a všetkých blízkych, aby sa mohla zúčastniť na misii Archa. Podľa plánu sa majú všetci zmrazení prebudiť o tristo rokov na novej planéte v súhvezdí Kentaura. Alebo o tristojeden rokov? Tak či onak, päťdesiat rokov pred plánovaným pristátím sa kryokomora číslo 42 za nevyjasnených okolností otvorí a Amy sa prebudí v roztopenej kryokvapaline. Niekto sa ju pokúsil zabiť! Amy sa stáva súčasťou malého sveta, v ktorom fungujú veľmi zvláštne pravidlá. Viac ako dve tisícky pasažierov lode Pamodaj sa vo všetkom podriaďujú obávanému tyranovi Najstaršiemu. Starší, Najstaršieho neposlušný nástupca a Amin rovesník, sa usiluje získať jej srdce a popritom sa učí, ako sa má správať, keď jedného dňa prevezme vládu na lodi. Amy mu chce veriť. Ale môže sa spoľahnúť na chlapca, ktorý nikdy nevytiahol päty spomedzi tesných kovových stien vesmírnej lode? Je si istá iba jedným: spolu so Starším musí odhaliť skryté tajomstvá lode, skôr než sa ten, kto ju rozmrazil, pokúsi o ďalšie vraždy.

    • 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.
