Across the Universe (Beth Revis)	comment	Across the Universe is a trilogy of sci-fi books by Beth Revis, set on a Generation Ship making a slow sublight journey to a planet to set up a colony. The future colonists are kept in cryogenic pods, while generation after generation of shippers keep the Godspeed functioning.Amy, the teenage daughter of two essential personnel, is abruptly woken up while the ship is still en route when her cryogenic pod is unplugged — someone tried to murder her. Amy tries to adapt to the strange dystopian society aboard Godspeed and track down the attempted murderer before he can do the same to any of the other colonists.The story alternates between her perspective and that of Elder, the future leader-in-training of Godspeed. He believes that the current leader, Eldest, is keeping secrets about the ship and its journey from them, and is determined to uncover them. He also has a crush on Amy, who is utterly unlike any of the other women on the ship.The trilogy consists of: Across the Universe A Million Suns Shades of EarthNot to be confused with the 2007 film of the same name.note Though, coincidentally enough, they both got their namesake from the 1969 song by The Beatles.

Across the Universe (Beth Revis) / int_34f1b472	comment	Mad Artist: Played with. All the residents of the hospital's psychiatric ward are actually artists, scientists, engineers and other creative thinkers necessary to the running of the ship. They are more or less sane by the reader's standards, but labeled "crazy" to distinguish them from the mindless mainstream. The "medication" they take are actually pills to inhibit Phydus. Harley, a painter with dark mood swings, and Victria, an embittered novelist, are somewhat more straightforward examples of this trope.

Elder and Amy end up disclosing a lot of the ship's secrets, including the Phydus, the fact that Godspeed is 250 years behind schedule and the mutiny rather than keep the population in ignorance. Elder even confesses to Amy that he unplugged her, and she's grateful enough for his honesty to somewhat forgive him. In A Million Suns, we get another layer of secrets: it turns out Godspeed has been orbiting the new planet all along!. We get a ridiculous amount of secrets in Shades of Earth.
