A Sci-Fi space odyssey, and an epic poem, reimagining an astral 'Pre'-evolution of Black (African) Culture. "'Tis a sobering retrospective, on the Earth's DEGREES Last Days and Times, though it be filtered through the prism, of distinctly alien eyes. The Face of The Earth DEGREES is nothing less than an epic poem, and a modern-day classic." wrote black Aerospace Communications Engineer, E. M. Lee, Sr. "Along with its cutting-edge science fiction and its insightful socioeconomic critiques, this bawdy space odyssey entices the reader ever deeper, with its scintillating and seductive blend of truth, and half-truths, and poetry and hyperbole, and sociology and yes... even a smattering of philosophy." Set against a sprawling cosmic backdrop, evolving from 'way black-then' to 'God knows when', two seemingly star-crossed lovers, afflicted with blazing 'hearts afire', simmer in a tumultuous, seething-cauldron bubbling-over, with scandalous 'love and desire'. An heroic beauty, "Etherea" is his North Star, his Guiding Light, and his Constant, in The Storm. And though his earthy passions be hurled against ill-winds of destiny, arrayed against him like pillars of fire, "bipenal" anti-hero "BiJohnne" emerges from the whirlwind... transformed into someone that we can all admire.
