Great sequel!  The prologue was a great recap of what had happened in the first book (which I highly recommend!).  I loved all of Ms. Miller's romantic suspense novels, and her new series of young adult science fiction is equally enthralling.  In addition to heart-pounding suspense, the Beyond series also has strong, intelligent main characters, great supporting characters, excellent descriptions, and engaging and often humorous dialogue.  Even readers who do not normally like sci-fi will enjoy this series because of the characters and the emotions experienced while being immersed in Aimee and Zak's world.  Aimee had waited five long years for Zak to return to Earth for her and the sequel picks up right from the end of Beyond.  Even though I remembered everything from the first book, the recap in the prologue was a good refresher.  I loved the plot twists and building suspense as Aimee searched for the love of her life, refusing to believe that he was dead as most crew members on the Horus believed.  I had waited months for my reunion scene between Zak and Aimee and its culmination was even better than I had imagined.  Their tale of strength, love, and survival is heart-warming, and the relationship between the characters is so touching; several scenes brought tears to my eyes.  I can hardly wait for the next book to see what new adventures lay ahead for Zak and Aimee and their friend Raja!
