In the epic, action-packed sequel to War Girls, the battles are over but the fight for justice has just begun as a deadly virus breaks out in the Space Colonies.

It’s been five years since the Biafran War ended. Ify is now living where she’s always dreamed—the Space Colonies. She is a respected, high-ranking medical officer and has dedicated her life to helping refugees like herself rebuild in the Colonies.

Back in a recovering Nigeria, Uzo, a young synth, helps an aid worker, Xifeng, restore images and details of the war held in the technology of destroyed androids. Uzo, Xifeng, and the rest of their team are working to preserve memories of the many lives lost, despite the government’s best efforts to eradicate any signs that the war ever happened.

Though they are working toward common goals of helping those who suffered, Ify and Uzo are worlds apart. But when a mysterious virus breaks out among the children in the Space Colonies, their paths collide. Ify makes it her mission to figure out what’s causing the deadly disease. And doing so means going back to the homeland she thought she’d left behind forever.

Critic reviews

Praise for War Girls

“A brilliant novel about sisters, war, and freedom.”—Booklist, starred review

“Onyebuchi has created a fascinating futuristic Nigeria and a plot filled with left hooks and uppercuts, even as he nobly illuminates one of the most pervasive conditions of the human experience.”—The New York Times Book Review

“This heart-wrenching and complex page-turner, drawn from the 1960s Nigerian civil war, will leave readers stunned and awaiting the second installment.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“An exhilarating series opener.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[A] compulsively readable story with high action and high drama in equal measure. Perfect for fans of Paolo Bacigalupi’s novels and the Pacific Rim films.”—School Library Journal

I feel slightly guilty at giving only 4 stars. It's bloody good - just not as good as its predecessor. That's an unfair bar because of how brilliant War Girls is. It's bloody good though.

Brilliant but not flawless sequel
