Dying planets, dangerous conspiracies, and secret romance abound in the second book of the Devoured Worlds trilogy, by rising space opera star Megan E. O'Keefe.
Naira and Tarquin have escaped vicious counterrevolutionaries, misprinted monsters, and the pull of a dying planet. Now, bound together to find the truth behind the blight that has been killing habitable planets, they need to hunt out the Mercator family secrets. But, when the head of Mercator disappears, taking the universe’s remaining supply of starship fuel with him, chaos breaks loose between the ruling families. Naira’s revolution must be put aside for the sake of humanity’s immediate survival.
Praise for the Devoured Worlds trilogy: 
"Full of deftly plotted twists and turns, The Blighted Stars is a body-hopping, zombie-popping, rock-licking thrill ride." —Emily Skrutskie, author of Bonds of Brass
"Lots of action, lots of character, and lots of heart. Megan E. O'Keefe delights with every page. I couldn't put it down!" —Karen Osborne, author of Architects of Memory

      Starred review from July 28, 2023

      Having escaped from misprint monsters and a dying planet, Naira Sharp is determined to find out the truth behind the death of hospitable planets, knowing that her former employers, the Mercators, are behind it. Also on her side is Tarquin Mercator, the studious son of this hated family, and a man Naira was growing to care for--except that her new print does not have those memories. When Tarquin's father announces he is going into seclusion and taking most of the supply of the material needed to create starships, Naira, Tarquin, and their allies must play a dangerous game to find him and the fuel, stop the rest of the ruling families from revolting, and fight against the growing influence of the parasitic infection that exists in most of what is left of humanity. Skillful work with printable bodies, mind downloads, and alien influences creates a myriad of morally gray decisions by many characters that bring twists throughout. VERDICT O'Keefe's sequel to The Blighted Stars continues to masterfully play with genetic enhancement and reproducible physiology, corporate power, and alien life. An exciting science-fiction series that will make readers anxious for the final volume.--Kristi Chadwick
