Black Leopard, Red Wolf
Marlon James

Already tipped for prize lists in 2019, Marlon James’s follow-up to his Man Booker Prize-winning A Brief History of Seven Killings is a fever-pitched combination of magic, myth and history pitched as ‘an African Game of Thrones’ by the Guardian. The first in a trilogy, set in an alternate world founded on brutal power struggles, it’s a thrilling ride.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf is among Ross Johnson's six SFF novels inspired by the worlds of Africa.
