This brand-new sequel to Nnedi Okorafor’s Shadow Speaker contains the powerful prose and compelling stories that have made Nnedi Okorafor a star of the literary science fiction and fantasy space and put her at the forefront of Africanfuturist fiction "An epic collision of new tech and elemental magic—suspenseful, immersive, and chillingly relevant. Another stunning feat of imagination from Nnedi Okorafor." —Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House Niger, West Africa, 2077 Welcome back. This second volume is a breathtaking story that sweeps across the sands of the Sahara, flies up to the peaks of the Aïr Mountains, cartwheels into a wild megacity—you get the idea. I am the Desert Magician; I bring water where there is none. This book begins with Dikéogu Obidimkpa slowly losing his mind. Yes, that boy who can bring rain just by thinking about it is having some…issues. Years ago, Dikéogu went on an epic journey to save Earth with the shadow speaker girl, Ejii Ubaid, who became his best friend. When it was all over, they went their separate ways, but now he’s learned their quest never really ended at all. So Dikéogu, more powerful than ever, reunites with Ejii. He records this story as an audiofile, hoping it will help him keep his sanity or at least give him something to leave behind. Smart kid, but it won’t work—or will it? I can tell you this: it won’t be like before. Our rainmaker and shadow speaker have changed. And after this, nothing will ever be the same again. As they say, ‘Onye amaro ebe nmili si bido mabaya ama ama onye nyelu ya akwa oji welu ficha aru.’ Or, ‘If you do not remember where the rain started to beat you, you will not remember who gave you the towel with which to dry your body.’

Download and read online ebook Something Like Thunder write by Jay Bell. This book was released on 2015. Something Like Thunder available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This isn't a coming out story. Nor is it the tale of a lonely heart seeking companionship. This is about survival.My name is Nathaniel Courtney and I'm a survivor. Instead of letting the cruelty of others wear me down, I grew strong. I didn't allow hard truths, secrets of where I come from, challenge my identity. I even weathered the softer, more subtle hardships of the heart. Love is a Trojan horse, sneaking through the gates, forcing you to let down your guard, and leaving you ransacked and vulnerable. I emerged from that war not unscathed but as a new man. The only mistake I ever made was letting the right guy get away. Now I've got one more chance. I've been fighting my whole life, and this is the final battle, because if I fail now... I won't. You'll see. Just sit down and listen to my story, Kelly Phillips, and when I'm done, please don't walk away. When I'm finally through, take this weary solider into your arms so we can find peace together.Something Like Thunder is the sixth book in the ongoing Something Like... series, shedding light on past events while leading the reader toward an exciting new future.The Something Like... series:Book 1: Something Like SummerBook 2: Something Like WinterBook 3: Something Like AutumnBook 4: Something Like SpringBook 5: Something Like LightningBook 6: Something Like Thunder
