fear of a black planet
Hughes Suffren believes the best "what if" questions reveal truths about the world we live in today.
What if the world could no longer look away?
When AJ restores his father's sight, he awakens an extraordinary inheritance left behind by the mother he never knew—a gift that forces people to experience the truths they fear most. His quiet life as an optometrist is shattered just as Umoja, a united African coalition, gives America fifteen days to choose justice or face economic exile.
As institutions fracture and the country races toward an uncertain future, AJ discovers that revealing his extraordinary ability may be the nation's best hope—and his family's greatest risk.
Blending Afrofuturism, political suspense, and unforgettable characters, Fear of a Black Planet is both intimate and epic in scope. It is a story about family, identity, power, and the courage required to confront history before history chooses for us.
It asks a simple question:
What happens when truth becomes impossible to ignore?
Some truths can be hidden. Others only wait to be seen.
AMERICA HAS FIFTEEN DAYS. TRUTH HAS NO DEADLINE.
