Philip K. Dick Award Finalist - A Groundbreaking African Science Fiction Thriller

After the Flare by Deji Bryce Olukotun is a Philip K. Dick Award Finalist and Special Citation Winner that reimagines global power dynamics through a catastrophic solar event. When a massive solar flare destroys electricity grids worldwide and devastating cyberattacks paralyze all communication, the world order shifts dramatically.

The Story

Former NASA employee Kwesi Bracket finds himself working at the only functioning space program left on Earth - Nigeria's. With Europe, Asia, and the United States knocked offline and thousands of dead satellites threatening to crash to Earth, the Nigerian Space Program becomes humanity's last hope. Their mission: launch a daring rescue operation to save the International Space Station.

But the challenges extend far beyond technical obstacles. Nigeria faces an influx of advanced biohacking technologies, while the militant Islamic group Boko Haram advances on the spaceport. A group of nomads discovers ancient technology more powerful than anything Bracket has encountered. Racing against time, Bracket teams with a brilliant Indian scientist and an eccentric lunar geologist to confront these threats and launch the rescue mission.
