Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a Liverpool lad, raised across the pond by his mum. But his dad is in America – and doesn’t even know Jude exists. So Jude’s decided to go search for him. He travels to America and ends up settling down (illegally) in New York City. That might be enough excitement on its own, but it’s the 1960s, and Jude’s about to get swept up in everything that meant: art, hippies, love, drugs, and the horror of the Vietnam War.
Personality… artistic, fun, and thoughtful. In a lot of ways, Jude fits in perfectly with the hippies of New York. He’s an artist who loves an adventure and meeting new people. But he’s also cautious about the political fervor surrounding the anti-war movement. He might have to make a decision between following the ideals of his new friends, or sticking to a more practical course. Especially since he’s not supposed to be in America at all.
Get to Know him in...

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO SURVIVE ABOARD A SPACESHIP FUELED BY LIES?
Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the spaceship Godspeed. She has left her boyfriend, friends--and planet--behind to join her parents as a member of Project Ark Ship. Amy and her parents believe they will wake on a new planet, Centauri-Earth, three hundred years in the future. But fifty years before Godspeed's scheduled landing, cryo chamber 42 is mysteriously unplugged, and Amy is violently woken from her frozen slumber.
Someone tried to murder her.
Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes sense. Godspeed's 2,312 passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader. And Elder, Eldest's rebellious teenage heir, is both fascinated with Amy and eager to discover whether he has what it takes to lead.
Amy desperately wants to trust Elder. But should she put her faith in a boy who has never seen life outside the ship's cold metal walls? All Amy knows is that she and Elder must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets before whoever woke her tries to kill again.
