What if an age ago they reengineered their bodies and suppressed their minds to escape annihilation by conquerors? What if they now awaken from their eons of mental blindness to regain their racial memories and full intelligence with the help of ancient machines? What if the machines guide the entire alien race on a trek across Africa to find an engine that will transport them away from Earth to rebuild their long lost empire?
What if humanity has always loved the hidden aliens? What if, for many people, that love turns to hate? What if the revelation of the very existence of aliens and their machines causes religious upheaval and an Africa-spanning war?
What about you? Would you love the aliens, or hate them? Would you choose to kill them, or go with them?
This thrilling, character-driven, sci-fi action drama explores the nature of love and hate through the minds of Lindelani, a bereaved man whose wife succumbs to sickness; Nokukhanya, an awaking female alien; and 982.4, a self-aware and deviously intelligent AI machine. Circumstances bind these three together on the momentous trek across the continent.
Will Lindelani rediscover his humanity and gain his heart’s desire? Will he join the alien exodus with a horde of people who have been invited to join the migration?
