War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi takes you into a futuristic, Black Panther-inspired Nigeria, where two sisters are torn apart by war and must fight their way back to each other.

The year is 2172. Climate change and nuclear disasters have rendered much of Earth unlivable. Only the fortunate have managed to escape to space colonies in the sky.

In a war-torn Nigeria, battles are fought using flying, deadly mechs, and soldiers are outfitted with bionic limbs and artificial organs designed to protect them from the harsh, radiation-heavy climate. As the years-long civil war rages on across the nation, survival becomes the only way of life.

Amidst this chaos, two sisters, Onyii and Ify, dream of something more. Their lives, marked by violence and political unrest, are filled with a longing for peace, hope, and a future together.

They are prepared to fight an entire war to achieve that dream.

Acclaimed author Tochi Onyebuchi presents an immersive, action-packed, deeply personal novel perfect for fans of Nnedi Okorafor, Marie Lu, and Paolo Bacigalupi.
