About this ebook
Across the galaxy, the Black Panther answers the call of rebellion in this thrilling adaptation of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s graphic novel, The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda.
Lost to time, space, and legend, Wakanda’s rightful king must answer the call of rebellion…
On Earth, Wakanda is a beacon of prosperity and a bastion of freedom. But across the expanse of space, thousands of lightyears away, lies another Wakanda. One that has grown to hold five galaxies in its iron grip. One that steals the memories of those it enslaves. One that has abandoned the values of its forbearers and seeks only the glory and power of Empire.
Lost amongst unfamiliar stars, a man finds himself trapped in an imperial mining camp—one of the many Nameless violated by the Empire. He knows not how he got there, who he is, or even his name. Only a haunting vision of a woman he must have once known, imploring him to “Come back to me.” The only thing he does know, in his bones, is that he must fight the oppression that binds him and the others around him. It is that will to fight that leads him to the Maroons, a band of rebels, determined to shatter the Empire and restore the memories of the Nameless. Quickly, the man proves his worth with an unparalleled skill for battle, and the Maroons bestow on the man a title of hope, promise, and responsibility: T’Challa.
As T’Challa’s reputation amongst the rebels and ordinary citizens spreads, whispers of hope begin to swirl. Could this be the true T’Challa of old, the Avenger? The One Who Puts the Knife Where It Belongs? As all eyes turn to him, T’Challa must decide if he will embrace a future of responsibility as their savior—or pursue the mystery of his true past.
