In a sinister time long ago, the Earth was tainted by evil. Ruled
by a witch seeking power, creatures and beasts rose out of the
darkness and cursed the lands. Many years later, a dark force still
haunts the land, forcing its residents to seek a Searcher who can
quickly realize his true being and finally vanquish the evil. After
Sosha, a young sorceress, asks Norrock, the Searcher, to lead her
to the unforgiving Land of Ush, the two embark on a journey, never
realizing that death is waiting to claim their souls. Norrock is
already familiar with the smell of blood. Living with danger is his
way of life. But as he and Sosha reach the unforgiving land, chaos
abounds. As armies quickly assemble, Earth is shadowed by an
awakening darkness and Sosha and Norrock must hurry to solve an
ancient mystery. As they race against the dark queen's evil army,
danger awaits the heroes at every turn. Unfortunately what began as
a quest to solve an old prophecy has now become man's last hope for
existence. Now it is up to Sosha and Norrock to find the Chosen One
before the Earth is blanketed in darkness and destruction forever.

'I cannot afford to be a participator, by passiveness in such
stupendous and widespread wrongs as I perceive are being abundantly
inflicted upon the African race. Hence my appeal...to the British
Queen and Government...that "Africa for the African" be made a
reality as far as each has the power to bring it about.' Joseph
Booth penned his appeal in 1897 in protest of the racist
stereotpying of the Africans by the colonisers; and witnessing the
unjust and inhumane exploitation of the native peoples, for the
sole benefit of the Europeans. He drew his ideas from the social
and political messages he inferred from the Gospel and his appeal
was published only thirteen years after European leaders met in
Berlin to divide up the African continent. The book, which was not
welcomed by the colonial government in Malawi was first published
in 1897 in the US and is now republished in Malawi. Laura Perry
reproduced the text of Booth's second edition, compared it to the
first edition and added explanatory footnotes.

was republished in its centenary year and has continual relevance
to debates about race and development in Africa. It is edited to
include explanations of local and contemporary political
references, biblical references and the sources of the author's
citations.
