1. Beyond the Stars (Paperback)

Customer Review

First volume of a new trilogy announced riding the wave Dystopia YA SF. The second volume is announced for August 2015 (in French).

Amy, 16, accompanied his parents candidates for exile. A journey of 300 years to a new planet, on a generation ship in cryonics. But 50 years before arrival, it is disconnected and nearly died. But it was not counting on Elder, 16, future Dean (absolute leader of the crew of 2312 people). Together, accompanied by nice sidekick to argue, they will try to solve the mysteries of the ship. Their are we hiding?

Try this time to criticize LOEUVRE keeping in mind that this is literature for adolescents (es). (So ​​we go blithely on insufficient background, the shameful shortcuts on genetic engineering techniques, scriptwriting facilities. Well it is said).
We are in the theme now archiclassique, the pretty and different girl who arrives in his new high school (oh heck, in her new spacecraft) will be his new universe, its new bubble (for once, the huis- Enclosed is this time well respected). And who's the hunk a little rebellious, unique to every point of view, with which she will spend her time?
But bad language I am, this time the love story frankly is secondary (or even third) level and not worse. The emotions and scenes of teenagers bisouaillages galore (who frankly annoyed me in the 100 Morgan) are involved, certainly, the book (it would still not lose the target readership of the flower girl) but fit very well and are consistent with the desired atmosphere by the author.
Mysterious atmosphere pretty well restored in which the author develops other themes typical of this kind of literature: The right to be different (first source of conflict as the dean, at the same time, it is not wrong), opposition parental and professorial authority.
With a small passage the club of five (reduced to three) working so the experts in Las Vegas, we address (flies) themes of eugenics, the leveling of minds to social peace. With the three criteria chaos on the ship: The difference, the absence of a leader and individual thought (Brrrr one would not want to live too much in their ship non Amy And that's good either?) ...

In the end, I had fun with this new story, because despite my criticisms old embittered galactic backpacker, I kept my heart pure for working girl ...
