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?

Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Like Douglas Adams writing on a sugar high
Seanan McGuire on SPACE OPERA
This glorious glitterball dream of a book is Valente at her best: beguiling, bewitching, and inexplicably demanding
John Scalzi on SPACE OPERA
Cat Valente is mad and brilliant and no one else would have even thought of this, much less pulled it off
TIME Magazine
Cat Valente is the Ray Bradbury of her generation
Booklist
Valente's signature stylistic whimsy is very much on display here, and fans will certainly enjoy this answer to 'what happens after you save the world'
Chuck Wendig on SPACE OPERA
Valente's book contains a story and prose that is both electric and breathless, It has the heart of Douglas Adams and the soul of David Bowie
