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.

The Perfect Conclusion
This series has definitely done it's job of keeping me completely intrigued, and in constant anticipation as to what will happen next. It was very well written, and I would recommend this series to anyone interested.
Frexing brilly!
This book was the perfect ending(?) of a beautiful saga of books that can have its awesomness barely describes as a dystopian/romance/sci-fi/action novel. The characters are multifaceted and gorgeously executed, and are place into a plot full of twists and turns that will leave the reader aching for more. The world that has been created is terrifyingly beautiful and leaves the reader feeling almost homesick for sol-earth.
While reading this book it felt like someone gently took my heart out carried it around with them for some time, chewed on it for a bit, blew it up, then fixed it all up and put it back into my chest with a bow.
Highly recommended! Only read the first two books first...
