His novel is possibly the first hip hop epic. Hip hop has a short attention span on most  occasions. The Alchemists of Kush gives it gravitas.” —Ishmael Reed Author of Mumbo Jumbo and Juice! “Minister Faust’s first two books broke new ground in the SF field.

Once you start the first page of this book, you won't be able to put it down until you’ve finished the last one.” —Charles R.

Now imagine that your university--the centre for training your country’s leaders--has no library. How do you rate your nation’s chances for stability and prosperity?
