Publisher's Summary

Accidents happen in the strange realms of the African Union system. One of them sends two humans to the far side of a star gate in a thrilling short story of hope, survival, and new dimensions.

Copilots Msizi and Tariro are testing a newly constructed wormhole jump that presumably leads to unsettled habitable worlds. Then an explosion sends them off course, far from where they started and with little chance of ever making it back. Now they’re stranded on their new home for the diaspora. It’s called Malcolm X-b. But they’re beginning to wonder how many light-years from civilization they really are.

C.T. Rwizi’s These Alien Skies is part of Black Stars, a multi-dimensional collection of speculative fiction from Black authors. Each story is a world much like our own. Read or listen to them in a single sitting.

Gorgeous Writing and Story!

C.T. Rwizi's These Alien Skies (Black Stars #4) hearkens back to African spirituality as it posits the future of the African Union system and mankind as we travel to new worlds. After an accident in a wormhole, Copilots Msizi and Tariro crash into what they had suspected was an uninhabited planet. What they find takes them on a far more mysterious future than they ever imagined.

I'm not surprised this is the highest rated of the Black Stars stories for two reasons: 1. It's probably what most people thought of when they saw the collection of these stories was called "Black Stars" and 2. The story is absolutely gorgeous. Only elevated by the amazing voice work of Indya Moore, this story is everything you want out of a star faring adventure.

A definite favourite of this collection and I will be checking out more of Rwizi's work!
