Shades of Earth Blog Tour: “As They Slip Away” Part Five
Today we’re celebrating the upcoming launch of SHADES OF EARTH, the third and final book of the NY Times Bestselling Across the Universe series by Beth Revis.
Fueled by lies.
Ruled by chaos.
Almost home.
Check out our review!
“A tense and delicious ride–one that satisfyingly brings the series full circle.” –The Examiner
But as each new discovery brings more danger, Amy and Elder will have to look inward to the very fabric 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 meaningless.
And in order to celebrate the launch, Beth has a special surprise for us! Not only can you enter to win one of five sets of her books, signed, but you can also read a free exclusive novella set on the generation spaceship Godspeed. Fans of the books will definitely recognize characters–including the star of the novella, a girl named Selene, who was mentioned in the background of both of the first two books. What happened in her past influenced both Amy and Elder’s futures, although neither of them realized it. This tragic story sheds light on many readers’ favorite character–Harley–as well as the most-hated character of all: Luthor. If you ever wondered what life was like on Godspeed before Amy woke up, and just how far Eldest was willing to go to maintain the peace on the ship, you’ll find the answers in this novella!
Every day this week, a new section of the novella will be revealed. For the full schedule, check Beth’s website. You can read today’s selection below–and don’t forget to enter the drawing at the bottom of the post!

Great story!
This series wasn’t my fav at first b/c I felt it was too hyped up. But since getting into the second book I became more vested in the characters and can’t wait to see what await thems on the second Earth!
I haven’t read the short yet, since i wanted to read it all when it’s finished, so I guess I can now!
Also, I’m excited for SHADES OF EARTH because ACROSS THE UNIVERSE was one of my favorite books last year!
Wow, that was great. I cannot wait to get a copy of SHADES OF EARTH. I need to know what happens. Thank you.
What a place to leave us hanging! I’m going to have to look up the rest of this tomorrow, for sure!
Loved the novella! Can’t wait for Tuesday. =)
I really can’t wait to get my preorder of this book. I don’t want it to end but I want to find out what happens at the same time. So can’t wait. =]
Nice Novella/Short Story. I’m excited for Shades of Earth to come out
I loved this novella. I’m so excited for Shades of Earth!
I’m excited for this book because I read ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and A MILLION SUNS, so I want to finish the trilogy.
So, what happened to Luthor after that to make him so evil?
Gosh, I really want that boxset t.t as much as I need to read Shades of Earth. GIMME THE BOOK.
I love this Novella! I am extremely exited about shades of earth!
Hi! I haven’t read any of the books in this series but I want to. They sound really good.

I’m can’t wait to find out all about this new Earth and why the first Eldest thought they couldn’t land on it. I also want to know what happens between Elder and Amy!
LOVE This series!
I’m so excited to finally read the LAST book of the series!! I can’t wait to find out how it all ends!
So excited for Shades of Earth!
I LOVED IT!!!!
LOVE As They Slip Away. I kind of wish Beth would make this into a full length story, or at least write about Harley and Kayleigh’s work. This can’t be the end of the story, though! I need to read more but at the same time am dreading what I know is to come…
The story is amazing, but I’m so nervous and sad for Selene. SHADES OF EARTH is so close I can practically feel its weight in my hands.
I am so sad to see the series end so quickly but I cannot wait to read the last and final book and know what happens! Thank so much! Shades of Earth! Get here faster! PLEASE!
eep!
This was such a great novella!! I loved it!
I am so excited for the release and to read all the books back to back
Thanks for the giveaway!
I cannot wait for Shades of Earth! Especially after reading the novella!!
Thank you for blog tour and for As The Slip Away, I’ve enjoyed the ongoing story a lot and I’m exciting for Shades of Earth’s release.
