"One hundred and fifty years from now, the world is at peace. But the past holds secrets that could change everything."
In a 22nd century where Africa leads the world and humanity has spread across the solar system, siblings Geoffrey and Sunday Akinya follow a trail of cryptic clues left by their recently deceased grandmother — a journey that will take them from the Kenyan savannah to the moon, and into the heart of a mystery that spans generations.
Reynolds' Poseidon's Children trilogy is a rare thing in science fiction — an optimistic future, rigorously imagined, rooted in African culture and identity. Warm, expansive, and deeply human. A full editorial experience is being assembled. Check back soon.
