    About this audiobook

    The Sauútiverse is the first in an exciting new Shared World series that is guaranteed to both entertain readers and introduce them to a new world of science fiction and fantasy by talented African writers. Featuring stories that are set in Sauúti – an Africa-inspired science-fantasy secondary world created by Africans, for the world, Sauúti is like Black Panther meets Wild Cards with all the rich spacefaring worldbuilding of Dune. The Sauútiverse Shared World contains short stories and novellas set in this fictional civilization based on a blend of African cultural worldviews. The name Sauúti is taken from the word “Sauti” which means “voice” in Swahili. Sauúti is a five-planet system orbiting a binary star, rooted deeply in a variety of African mythology, language, and culture. Sauúti weaves in an intricate magic system based on sound, oral traditions, and music. It includes science-fiction elements of artificial intelligence and space flight, including both humanoid and non-humanoid creatures. Sauúti is filled with wonder, mystery, and magic.
