Description

The superb aliens-in-your-head SF sequel to the wildly popular The Rise of Io, by the author of The Lives of Tao series

When Ella Patel's mind was invaded by the Quasing alien, Io, she was dragged into the raging Prophus versus Genjix war. Despite her reservations, and Io's incompetence, the Prophus were determined to train her as an agent. It didn't go well. Expelled after just two years, Ella happily returned to con artistry, and bank robberies. But the Quasing war isn't done with them yet. The Genjix's plan to contact their homeworld has reached a critical stage, threatening all life on Earth. To complete the project they need Io's knowledge - and he's in Ella's head - so now they're both being hunted, again.

Advance Praise

Praise for The Rise of Io: 


“I’m in awe of this book. Ella Patel is a fantastic, flawed, sympathetic protagonist who pops off the page from the moment you meet her and leads you on a breathtaking adventure that is at once poignant and wondrous.” — Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy winning author of The Grace of Kings

“The Rise of Io is great ride, and I desperately want a Quasing. The idea of a cosmic cheering section in my own head sounds delightful. Not to mention my Quasing would make me totally boss. Another hit by Wesley Chu.” – Melinda Snodgrass, author of the Edge series

“Years after a killer debut, Wesley Chu keeps leveling up. Storytelling that seems so effortless you never see the punches coming.” – Peter V Brett, bestselling author of the Demon Cycle series

“A sleek, bumptious thriller that’s strong on action and humour.” – Financial Times

“A compelling, breakneck action-adventure.” – The Guardian

“A fast, fun romp, with high stakes and plenty of explosions”. – Locus

Featured Reviews

An absolutely fun follow-up to the Rise of Io! I especially loved the combination of new characters and return of beloved old characters. One main character is actually a different character in disguise and it was fun trying to puzzle it out. As usual with this series I thought the villain POVs were the low point, but it wasn't enough to detract from my enjoyment.
