You are certain to find a story that speaks to you." --Sheree Renée Thomas, author and editor of the acclaimed Dark Matter anthology series, Praise for Maurice Broaddus "The lush, descriptive prose tantalizes all the senses, drawing the reader into a rich world spanning both miles and centuries...

It''s epic in scope, yet intimate. It breaks the mold of what''s expected, yet is as welcoming as a warm campfire on the darkest night. Let this debut of a new series sweep you away.

" --Everina Maxwell, author of Winter''s Orbit "Powerful, sweeping Afrofuturist space opera.... Broaddus brings to bear his experience as an educator and community organizer as the principle characters struggle to build and maintain a Black utopia even as the legacies of colonialism and the Maafa--the trans-Atlantic slave trade--still lurk in the background. He draws a direct line in global Black history from the kingdoms of precolonial Africa, through the American civil rights movement and into an imagined future, making this a hugely ambitious and notable work of postcolonial science fiction. This takes the genre in an exciting and challenging direction.

Synopsis
Maurice Broaddus's Sweep of Stars is the first in a trilogy that explores the struggles of an empire. Epic in scope and intimate in voice, it follows members of the Muungano empire - a far-reaching coalition of city-states that stretches from O.E. (original earth) to Titan - as it faces an escalating series of threats. Locus Award Finalist "The beauty in blackness is its ability to transform. Like energy we are neither created nor destroyed, though many try." - West African Proverb The Muungano empire strived and struggled to form a utopia when they split away from old earth. Freeing themselves from the endless wars and oppression of their home planet in order to shape their own futures and create a far-reaching coalition of city-states that stretched from Earth and Mars to Titan. With the wisdom of their ancestors, the leadership of their elders, the power and vision of their scientists and warriors they charted a course to a better future. But the old powers could not allow them to thrive and have now set in motion new plots to destroy all that they've built. In the fire to come they will face down their greatest struggle yet. Amachi Adisa and other young leaders will contend with each other for the power to galvanize their people and chart the next course for the empire. Fela Buhari and her elite unit will take the fight to regions not seen by human eyes, but no training will be enough to bring them all home. Stacia Chikeke, captain of the starship Cypher, will face down enemies across the stars, and within her own vessel, as she searches for the answers that could save them all. The only way is forward. The Astra Black series: Sweep of Stars Breath of Oblivion
