Enter the Black Power Universe: What Akhet and Peret Hold
Power has roots. So does resistance.
Dean Baxter’s Black Power series is Afrofuturist science fiction with superhero-scale stakes. Its heroes carry ancient African legacy into a modern fight, and the story never lets you forget where that power comes from. If you love comics, world-building, and adventures where myth has teeth, this is the series to start with.
The series at a glance
Black Power is built on a simple idea. Extraordinary power and ancestral memory are not separate things. They collide, and the result is a universe where legacy is a weapon and resistance is a way of life.
Each book pushes the story further, with more power, more danger, and more of the world revealed.
The Book of Akhet (Book One)
A near-death experience awakens something extraordinary in Scipio.
At first, his new abilities feel like a curse. Mind-reading gives way to regeneration, and then to vector manipulation. Each new power raises the stakes and opens another question.
His search for answers pulls him into the Amanirenan Resistance, and into a fight against SOTIR. This is where the saga’s rules, its characters, and its mythic tone take shape.
The Book of Peret (Book Two)
The ride continues.
Peret returns to the Black Power universe for the next chapter of the saga. The stakes rise, the world expands, and the bond between legacy and power grows stronger.
If you finished Akhet wanting more, Peret is the next step.
Who this series is for
Black Power is written for readers who want representation and world-building. It is made for Blerds, comic fans, and Afrofuturism readers who want heroes that look like them, carry real history, and fight for something bigger than themselves.
Enjoy the ride
Start with Akhet, then continue with Peret. Both books are available from Amazon and IngramSpark.
Enjoy the ride.
