Space, the astronomical wilderness that has enthralled our minds since we first looked up in wonder. We are ineffably drawn to it, and equally terrified by it. We have created endless mythologies, sciences, and even religions, in the quest to understand it. We know more now than ever before and are taking our first real steps. What will become of Africans out there, will we thrive, how will space change us, how will we change it? AfroSFv3 is going out there, into the great expanse, and with twelve African visions of the future we invite you to sit back, strap in, and enjoy the ride.
"The third in this pioneering series with an honour roll of some of African writing's biggest names contributing. Unmissable." -- Geoff Ryman, author, awarded the Nebula, two-time Arthur C. Clarke, three-time BSFA, two-time Canadian Sunburst, as well as the Campbell, Philip K. Dick, and James Tiptree Jr., awards.
"The compelling, graceful stories in AfroSFv3 embrace a generous spectrum of places and peoples, eras and objectives. From sophisticated space operas to gritty cyberpunk streets; from day-after-tomorrow beginnings to far-off futures; from familial closeness to alien vastness, these well-wrought tales, infused with all the sharp, bright, enticing flavors of their African origins, show us the commonality of our species across all racial, ethnic and gender lines. Truly, these writers speak the same science fiction tongue as their like-minded cousins from the rest of the planet, with beautiful accents of their native soil." -- Paul Di Filippo, author of Cosmocopia, The Steampunk Trilogy, and others.
"With stories ranging from mundane science fiction to distant space opera passing from post-colonial biopunk and new family ties, the latest book of in the AfroSF series shows that inclusivity and multiculturality is the key to the future. As quality storytelling - rooted in every culture and tradition - doesn't belong to a single country or language, these stories prove that the future - as evident as it might sound although not always considered so - does happen everywhere. Excellent reading " -- Francesco Verso, author of Nexhuman and editor of Future Fiction.

Описание: This intriguing blend of science fiction and black magic will leave readers spellbound as they follow the adventures of a nineteen-year-old-girl with powers beyond our imaginations.Short Description (2,000 characters, including spaces)Who, or what, is Tendai? The answer may surprise-and horrify-you. From the author of Circles and The Justice comes a breathtaking new tale showing exactly what happens when magic, love, and science are unchecked by any moral bounds. Boakyewaa Glover's Tendai is sure to leave readers spellbound.Tendai appears to the outside world to be an ordinary eighteen-year-old girl. Yes, her birth was an unusual one. And yes, every year on her birthday a raging storm grips her entire town. But despite these odd occurrences Tendai has attempted to live a normal life complete with the drama of a boyfriend, school, and family.However, as Tendai's nineteenth birthday approaches, strange things begin to happen. Her psychic abilities, always a vaguely strange presence in Tendai's life, radically amplify, leaving the confused teenager afraid of her growing powers. As she begins to question who she really is and where these strange-and terrifying-powers come from, Tendai soon learns the horrifying truth behind her very existence.Dr. Rosen was a retired geneticist from NASA and his lifelong ambition was to create the perfect human being. He'd done it before, he'd created his one true hybrid and all he wanted to do was replicate his genius creation. So Rosen moved to Ghana - a country he regarded as a peaceful, private haven - and started the Hybrid Africa Project, what he hoped would be his great legacy of all time. Nana Nimako loved his son dearly, but he didn't like his daughter-in-law and wasn't surprised when the first child she bore turned out to be a slow, bumbling boy afraid of his own shadow. When his daughter-in-law became pregnant the second time, he knew he had to do something. Since praying to God hadn't worked the first time, Nimako resorted to something else - something ancient and darker, his last hope for the perfect grandchild. Science and nature - a unique and deadly combination. This is a story of mystery and intrigue, of loyalty and betrayal, of power and mayhem, love and passion, and a battle to understand and to survive. This is the story of Tendai.
