SUMMARY:Maurice Broaddus in conversation with John Scalzi
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday, March 31 at 7 PM on Zoom when  Maurice Broaddus will talk about his new novel, Sweep of Stars. He will  be in conversation with John Scalzi, author of The Kaiju Preservation Society.\nAbout the Book\nMaurice Broaddus’s Sweep of Stars is the first in a trilogy that explores the struggles of an empire. Epic in scope and intimate in voice, it follows members of the Muungano empire – a far-reaching coalition of city-states that stretches from O.E. (original earth) to Titan – as it faces an escalating series of threats.\n“The beauty in blackness is its ability to transform. Like energy we are neither created nor destroyed, though many try.” – West African Proverb\nThe Muungano empire strived and struggled to form a utopia when they split away from old earth. Freeing themselves from the endless wars and oppression of their home planet in order to shape their own futures and create a far-reaching coalition of city-states that stretched from Earth and Mars to Titan.\nWith the wisdom of their ancestors, the leadership of their elders, the power and vision of their scientists and warriors they charted a course to a better future. But the old powers could not allow them to thrive and have now set in motion new plots to destroy all that they’ve built.\nIn the fire to come they will face down their greatest struggle yet.\nAbout the Author\nMAURICE BROADDUS is the author of the novella Buffalo Soldier from Tor.com, the Breton Court trilogy (Angry Robot Books), a novel from Apex, as well as a contemporary middle grade mystery. He leads a series of Afrofuturist workshops. Broaddus is a middle-school teacher and community organizer from Indianapolis, Indiana, where he lives with his wife and two sons.\nAbout John Scalzi\nJOHN SCALZI is one of the most popular SF authors of his generation.
