In Seven Days, K.F. McDaniel crafts a bold, immersive narrative that fuses speculative science fiction with unapologetic Black cultural scholarship. Set against a backdrop of contemporary America, the story centers on Dr. Dozie Carter - a physicist, engineer, and historian whose groundbreaking book, Black Gods of Egypt, challenges long-held Western narratives about African antiquity. With rigorously presented mathematics, physics, and architectural analysis, Dr. Carter contends that ancient Kemet (Egypt) was not the product of primitive societies but a marvel of Black genius and technological sophistication, unmatched even by today's modern capabilities. The story weaves this thesis through public debates, campus dialogues, and moments of personal reflection, illustrating the dangers and triumphs of speaking truth in a world determined to forget it.
But Dr. Carter's scholarly battles are only the beginning. As global tensions rise, strange omens begin to appear, culminating in the ominous arrival of The Lord of Hosts, a towering cosmic force who gives Earth a mere seven days to vacate or face annihilation. As the clock counts down, characters old and new - from devoted research assistant Wisdom to club owners, dancers, and mysterious figures cloaked in ancient regalia - find themselves navigating both personal reckonings and a collapsing society. Seven Days closes no doors to commentary on faith, history, politics, and identity. Instead, it leans into them all, crafting a provocative, unflinching work of speculative fiction where no truth is too dangerous to name.
