About this listen

Accidents happen in the strange realms of the African Union system. One of them sends two humans to the far side of a star gate in a thrilling short story of hope, survival, and new dimensions.

Copilots Msizi and Tariro are testing a newly constructed wormhole jump that presumably leads to unsettled habitable worlds. Then an explosion sends them off course, far from where they started and with little chance of ever making it back. Now they’re stranded on their new home for the diaspora. It’s called Malcolm X-b. But they’re beginning to wonder how many light-years from civilization they really are.

C.T. Rwizi’s These Alien Skies is part of Black Stars, a multi-dimensional collection of speculative fiction from Black authors. Each story is a world much like our own. Read or listen to them in a single sitting.

Good read but it’s in the black stars compilation book

Overall this was a good read I would have liked an end to the book not a cliff hanger. It’s impossible to tell a whole story in 3 chapters not to mention that this story is included in the compilation of stories titled ‘black stars’ so I’ve read and purchased this twice.
Performance was great from the voice actor but I don’t think there was any depth to it because it wasn’t long enough.

Left me wanting more

The story had a hint of melancholy to it and I think the narrator's sultry and sad voice added to this feeling. What a shame the story was so, extremely short because I wanted to know more and find out if things work out. Msizi is a flight lieutenant in charge of checking a new planet that can sustain human life but is surprised by something completely unexpected. Very interesting story with African references. I make narrator would be better as main character is a man.
