Notes

On cover: What will you do when the truth you have longed for will kill you

Sequel to: Across the universe; and, A million suns

Summary: Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship God speed behind. They're ready to build a new home on Centauri Earth, the planet that Amy has travelled across the universe to experience. But this new Earth isn't the paradise that Amy had been hoping for - and they aren't the only ones there. Each new discovery brings more danger. And if their colony collapses then everything they have sacrificed - friends, family, life on Earth - in order to build a future together will have been meaningless.
