With Primeval Fire (hardcover, paperback, Kindle, audiobook), writer C.T. Rwizi is concluding the science fantasy trilogy he began in 2020 with Scarlet Odyssey and continued a year later with Requiem Moon. In the following email interview, he discusses what inspired and influenced this series, and why he doesn’t think they qualify as Afrofuturism or Africanfuturism.
With Requiem Moon (hardcover, paperback, Kindle, audiobook) writer C.T. Rwizi is continuing the science fantasy saga he started in 2020 with Scarlet Odyssey. But as he explains in the following email interview, this second book is no longer the end of the story.
Often when writers blend science fiction and fantasy, it’s by adding elements of the latter into the former, like how Star Wars infused its space opera story with swords and magic. But in his debut novel, Scarlet Odyssey (hardcover, paperback, Kindle), writer C.T. Rwizi is taking the opposite approach by setting AN epic fantasy tale on an alien world. Though as he explains in the following email interview, it’s not the change in genres, but rather a change in heroes, that really got this story going.
