Descriere

n nMaurice 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. n nThe beauty in blackness is its ability to transform. Like energy we are neither created nor destroyed, though many try. - West African Proverb n nThe 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. n nWith 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. n nIn the fire to come they will face down their greatest struggle yet. n nAmachi 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. n nFela 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. n nStacia 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. n nThe only way is forward. n
