As They Slip Away by Beth Revis

5.0

I'm ashamed to say that I've had Across the Universe on my bookshelf for months and months. I thought I would finally start this series and started with As They Slip Away, which is a free short story prequel.

The short story tells of Godspeed, the ship on its way to a better world, and about a few patients in the Hospital, in particular about their skills.

While the short story was a little sad... C'mon it says "Three Months Before I Die" at the start! It was a really good intro to the series and it made me crave the start of Across the Universe.

I love science fiction but I haven't read a lot of young adult scifi, so I'm definitely more than eager to start this series. I'm looking forward to seeing how some of these characters play into the bigger story.

As They Slip Away is free to read (http://www.scribd.com/doc/119788927/As-They-Slip-Away) and likely will make most scifi fans craving to read this series.
