Nubia: The Reckoning

Nubia, Book 2

De: Omar Epps, Clarence A. Haynes

Narrado por: Amir Abdullah, Emana Rachelle, Jeorge Bennett

The sequel to Nubia: The Awakening, the epic fantasy from actor and producer Omar Epps and writer Clarence A. Haynes! A powerful saga of three teens, the children of refugees from a fallen African utopia, who must navigate their newfound powers in a climate-ravaged New York City.

Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho were among the first of a new generation of Nubians to awaken to extraordinary powers—gifts their parents lost when they fled their island home decades ago. And now that Uzochi has been declared a Nubian catalyst, everyone expects him to lead.

But what should be a time of rebirth and celebration is instead one of turmoil. The so-called sky king, Krazen St. John, is bent on harnessing Nubian gifts for himself, and he has assembled a special, superhuman militia to do his bidding, putting a ruthless Lencho in charge.

Facing down his cousin feels insurmountable for Uzochi, even with Zuberi at his side, but now there’s more at stake than the hostile government of Tri-State East. Uzochi’s training has led him to discover an ancient, forgotten force hungry for conquest—and it won’t stop until all of Tri-State East...and possibly the world...is under its control.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An ambitious return to a future of promise, danger, and self-discovery that fans of the first volume will enjoy."—Kirkus Reviews

Even the Second was invigorating

My imagination went through the roof wanting to walk in this world. wondering what my skills would be. Well written and read

A great continuing …

The sequel was good but I still liked the first book better. The narration was excellent.

I love the Nubia series

I love the Nubians superpowers; the story of family and connection to each other, our past and to everything is beautiful. This book nicely continued from the first. Though some language from our present reality, like OMG, found its way into the 2090s it was still very well written and climaxed well. I'd loveto see it in a movie.

Great story cinematically told…

I really hope this story makes it to the big screen. It has implications for what we can do in community as well as what we can do individually to bring about a divine world that accommodates all of our gifts. The villains in these stories are familiar because they are us but so are the sheroes and heroes. I loved these first 2 installments. Looking forward to the 3rd.

Fiction

I enjoyed both books in this series and look forward to reading more. This was a well written and thought-out book.

Great book!

Bought several books for gifts for family members and we haves enjoyed reading both books and having discussions about both books. The twist and endings keeps you wanting to know more.

The story

The ending had me anxious for the trilogy so excited to be apart of Nubia

Loved every word!

I don’t know much to say but this was a great book. I’m a 35 year old African American woman and the lessons learned from this book are immense. I love the story of Nubja and Nubians. I’m hoping for a book 3.
