This book starts out with Amy, a girl living in the future, being cryogenically frozen. Important people, like her parents, are being transported to a distant planet to become the first civilization on this planet. 50 years early, however, Amy is yanked out of her frozen state and is almost killed. She is saved by Elder, the second in command of the giant ship heading to the new planet. Amy is suddenly thrust into a new world, with something sinister lurking in every corner. The ruler of the ship, Eldest, is ruling the ship with an iron hand. All of the "peasants" are drinking water that has been spiked with a drug that causes no emotions, everyone can communicate with everyone else by devices inside their ears, and they are informed that they are 50 years behind schedule. But, the situation worsens when Elder finds out that the ship isn't functioning properly and they are actually 250 years behind schedule: not even halfway there. As Eldest becomes even harder to deal with, Elder and Amy try to find a way to take control away from Eldest and protect the other "frozens" that are being yanked out and killed one by one. Overall, a good book. Lags a little in the middle but picks up again at the end.
