In the epic, action-packed sequel to the brilliant (Booklist,
starred review) novel War Girls, the battles are over, but the fight
for justice has just begun.
It's been five years since the Biafran War ended. Ify is now nineteen
and 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 the still devastated Nigeria, Uzo, a young synth, is helping an
aid worker, Xifeng, recover 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.
