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. "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.
