The sequel to NEGUS volume one, NEGUS II continues with another compilation of African-American Science Fiction. With memories of the planet Earth not too far behind, Huey's journey on the new planet of Negus resumes with Rosa and Kwame.

Previously introduced in book one and the stand-alone e-book, The Melanins continue as visitors from another planet trek to the United States. The collection also includes brand new stories such as The Guardians, told from the perspective of spirit guides, and Skin Deep, a tale of a modern day bride in an alternate universe, who undergoes an eye-opening transformation. Whether you're obsessed with outer space, spirituality, conspiracy theories, magic or science fiction, NEGUS II explores the 'what-ifs', intended to leave readers in deep thought.
