The Hope/Freedom. A marvel of engineering, the culmination of decades of research and years of construction, she’s on a thousand-year voyage across deep space to start the first human colony outside the Solar system. It’s the greatest adventure in all of history. And Tom just wishes it wasn't so boring. He’s pretty sure his parents didn’t bring him along to ruin his life intentionally; that’s just the way it’s worked out. There’s not much to do apart from fixing and cleaning things. The food is bland when it’s not just disgusting. And having to spend years at a time frozen inside a metal tube in dreamless sleep, well, that’s more sleep than even a teenager wants. But when Tom wakes up from one of his extra-long naps, he quickly sees that thing are wrong. The ship is dirty. The air smells like goats. Nobody he knows is around, but that doesn’t mean he’s alone. Oh, and it isn’t long before Tom uncovers a problem that could spell doom for himself, his sleeping parents, and everyone else on the Hope/Freedom. It’s almost enough to make him miss homework.

This is an excellent addition to two great sub-genres of science fiction. First, it's a great book for young adults/adolescents, with a sharp, well-rounded protagonist who knows enough to know when he's in over his head and who has enough pluck and courage and persistence to stay the course anyway. Secondly, this is in the vein of Heinlein's Orphans in the Sky, a book about a long voyage or generation ship. where space ships traveling vast distances in space (hundreds or thousands of light years) have to do so in ships not surpassing the speed of light--and so the shipmates have to go into some form of cryogenic sleep for the duration of the voyage which will last centuries.(Minor spoiler below.)
Except in this case, as you'd expect...things go wrong. and for some folks it seems things have gone wrong for quite some time. In fact, some of the voyagers emerged from the cold sleep generations past, and so an entire society and economy have sprung up among descendants who've forgotten they are part of a crew on a voyage. Even worse, the nav systems are about to start encountering the kind of trouble that can get the entire ship destroyed. Luckily, Tom, our narrator, is there to help sort things out with the help of his newfound friends....

A Long Long Trip on the Hope/Freedom The Oldest Earthling Rob Favre Books Reviews
Great ending, love the perspective of the main character. The author keeps the story in same voice allowing perfect suspension of disbelief.
Quite a refreshing read. I'm a big fan of the unlikely hero stories and love the perspective from the teenage kid, Tom. His character was rather easy to relate to which made the experience that much more fun. But most of all, I like the injections of subtle humor. They are woven in nicely throughout the book and even in some unexpected parts which I love. Finally, its a fun story line. The plausibility of it is not that far out there, so even if you are not a huge sci-fi fan, I think you'd still find it a fun ready. I'll be on the look out for the next one.
This book was so much fun. A highly recommended read. Grab it, settle in and take off across the stars.
A great YA novel. The main character is very well done. He really feels like a teen trying to figure out how to handle things. And it doesn't always work, which is something I appreciate. Also, the premise is thought provoking. What WOULD happen if some people decided not to stay in stasis. In all, a thoroughly enjoyable book.
