Blue | 825 comments I am looking for books with the following plot lines:

1) Generational ship where people are in cryosleep going to a new world

2) Lost in space, end up where they aren't supposed to and try to get home

Examples:

Star Trek Voyager = lost in the Delta Quadrant trying to get back to the Alpha quadrant

Six Wakes - Mur Lafferty = Six people on a generational ship who are clones of themselves and there is a murder

Across the Universe - Beth Revis = Humans going to a new world

Pandorium = human generational ship that was heading for a new planet but sleep pods didn't open, one malfunctions

Passengers = generational ship film

Llynnya | 131 comments Robin D Owens has her Celta Heartmates series. Most of the series is 350+ years after landing and how the civilization has developed with occasional touches on the trip but she has 3 anthologies in which each has a pre-or-during the 250+ year trip story.

Hearts and Stones
"Passage Through Stone"
Levona Martinez is determined to find a berth on the starship, Lugh’s Spear, and escape the psi mutant ghetto this is her story.

Hearts and Swords
“Heart and Swords”
Kelse Bountry is awakened from his cryogenic sleep. Mutineers have killed the starships captain and security, and are determined to shut down the cryonic bay.Fuel is low. Wormholes have caused damage. They are lost.

Celta Cats
"Peaches Arrives on Celta"
Peaches was introduced in 'Heart and Swords" while on the ship Nuada’s Sword while it still journeyed to Celta (while it was lost)

Heart Thief The second book in the series
has information about the trip from earth and how at least one ship held up 350+ years after landing.

Heart Journey Gives information on the journey and landing via a journal of a passenger that was passed down in the family.
