Intergalactic Feast - Paperback

by Lavanya Lakshminarayan (Author)

Food, politics, love, adventure and drama in the sequel to the fun, thought-provoking Interstellar MegaChef!

FEAST boggles the mind, delivers a sucker-punch to the senses, and launches food into the far future. It blends rich, evocative memories with impossible dreams. Just add water!

It has been three months since Saraswati Kaveri and Serenity Ko won Interstellar MegaChef with their groundbreaking new food simulation, Feast.

But victory is only the beginning. Saras is busy promoting their invention as the public face of Feast, while Ko keeps fighting battles to steer its development at XP Inc. And then there's the kiss. They've decided to just be friends for now, at least until the sim's impending launch, but the memory of that heady night hangs over them.

And sometimes it seems the whole galaxy is lined up against them. Saraswati's secret past is coming under scrutiny, while old rivals are running smear campaigns against her. The cookery world is divided over Feast, proclaiming it a bold new invention and a betrayal of the chef's art by turns.

And others see Feast's darker potential--not as an experience, but as a weapon...
