Sobre este áudio

"Adjoa Andoh's heartfelt narration enriches this speculative story set in a near-future America after a second civil war." -AudioFile Magazine

The Freedom Race, Lucinda Roy’s explosive first foray into speculative fiction, is a poignant blend of subjugation, resistance, and hope.

The second Civil War, the Sequel, came and went in the United States leaving radiation, sickness, and fractures too deep to mend. One faction, the Homestead Territories, dealt with the devastation by recruiting immigrants from Africa and beginning a new slave trade while the other two factions stood by and watched.

Ji-ji Lottermule was bred and raised in captivity on one of the plantations in the Homestead Territories of the Disunited States to serve and breed more “muleseeds." There is only one way out—the annual Freedom Race. First prize, freedom.

An underground movement has plans to free Ji-ji, who unknowingly holds the key to breaking the grip of the Territories. However, before she can begin to free them all, Ji-ji must unravel the very real voices of the dead.

Written by one of today’s most committed activists, Lucinda Roy has created a terrifying glimpse of what might be and tempered it with strength and hope. It is a call to justice in the face of an unsettling future.

Resumo da Crítica

“You ever have the feeling that if you don’t read something, you may be missing out on something momentous happening?... I got that vibe from the first page of The Freedom Race. It has a prescience about it in the tradition of Octavia Butler.... If ‘resilience’ was a book, it would be The Freedom Race.” (Maurice Broaddus, author of Buffalo Soldier)

“Roy (The Hotel Alleluia) turns to speculative fiction for the first time with this lyrical, Afrofuturist hero’s quest set in the not-too-distant future.... [Ji-Ji's] harrowing but profoundly spiritual quest for sovereignty against all odds impresses. Readers...will appreciate both the tenacious heroine and Roy’s intricate prose stylings.” (Publishers Weekly)

“American magic-realism meets the outcome of the Second US Civil War in a well-told, but brutally jolting, strangely prescient, and soul-haunting narrative.” (L. E. Modesitt, Jr., best-selling author of the Saga of Recluce series)
