Return to the greatest contest in the galaxy in this sequel to the hilarious Space Opera from New York Times bestselling author Catherynne M. Valente.
The Metagalactic Grand Prix - part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past - returns, and the fate of the Earth is once again threatened.
After finishing in tenth place in the 100th Metagalactic Grand Prix, Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeros are on their mandatory eleven-and-three-quarters-month tour. As they prepare for the 101st edition of the contest, civilizations opposed to peace have been plotting and want to take down the upstarts. But always remember, at the Metagalactic Grand Prix, everyone cheats. Can humanity rise again in this sequel to the beloved Hugo Award-nominated national bestselling Space Opera?Catherynne M. Valente is the New York Times bestselling author of over two dozen works of fiction and poetry, including Palimpsest, the Orphan's Tales series, Deathless, Radiance, and the crowdfunded phenomenon The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making (and the four books that followed it). She is the winner of the Andre Norton, Tiptree, Sturgeon, Eugie Foster Memorial, Mythopoeic, Rhysling, Lambda, Locus, and Hugo awards, as well as the Prix Imaginales.
