Ivor Hartmann has sent me a review copy of the new edition in his Afro SF anthology series. This one is a bit different, in that rather than a bunch of short stories it contains five novellas. All are, of course, by Africa writers. Here’s the line-up:

“The Last Pantheon” by Tade Thompson & Nick Wood. An epic superhero face-off thousands of years in the making.

“Hell Freezes Over” by Mame Bougouma Diene. Long after the last skyscraper has drowned who remains and how will they survive?

“The Flying Man of Stone” by Dilman Dila. When ancient technology seems like magic legends live again in the midst of war and sides will be chosen.

“VIII” by Andrew Dakalira. A space shuttle crash, the numeral eight, serial murders, what connects them all could end humanity.

“An Indigo Song for Paradise” by Efe Tokunbo Okogu. Change is coming to Paradise city and it won’t be pretty, but if this is paradise then heaven must be hell in need of a revolution.

I’m looking forward to it. The book goes on sale on December 1st.
