Extended Synopsis

The third and final book in a trilogy where the futuristic technology of Black Panther meets the scale of The Expanse and the intricate political maneuverings of Game of Thrones. Maurice Broaddus returns with A City Dreaming, exploring 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 Earth to Titan and beyond—as it faces renewed threats to its progress.

We received a signal. Everything has changed. The Interstellar Alliance are coming. A new empire approaches and the Muungano, already facing foes much closer to home, will have to contend with what it means for their future. Across the solar system, from Earth to Mars and Titan, beyond the Orun Gate, and across time and space itself, a battle will rage.

Their soldiers, scientists, diplomats, and leaders will all have a role to play if their empire is to live on.
