They escaped Earth to survive.
History followed them anyway.
Two hundred years ago, the descendants of the African Diaspora walked away from a dying world and built the Umoja Compact among the stars. Free of the cycles of exploitation that defined Earth. Free, they believed, of the people who ran them.
Then the Sol Concord arrived. Heirs to the same imperial powers the Umoja fled, and they have not come for the worlds. They have come for the Dyson Almond, a colossal alien megastructure the size of a solar system, drifting in Umojan space for a hundred years.An ancient, non-human intelligence, older than civilization and indifferent to morality, turns its gaze toward humanity once more. While the Concord and the Umoja fight for control of the Almond, the Almond is studying them. It has weighed our species before. And it is close to deciding again. Dr. Ashley Walker never asked to be chosen. Neither did the silent boy drawing symbols he has never seen.
Someone has to speak for humanity across an impossible divide, and the Almond has already decided who. People of Nyame: The Emissary is the first book of the Umoja Universe.Also in
