A Black nerd coming-of-age novel set in 1970s Boston about a boy who struggles to learn the truth behind his mother's claims of otherworldly origins in the smoldering aftermath of the Civil Rights era and COINTELPRO's dying breaths.
Sean's mother, Sojourner, consistently claims otherworldly origins-Saturn, specifically. A story he's heard his entire life and never considered that it might be true until strange men intrude on his family's lives. Complicating matters, his father, David, and his mother, were part of a Civil Rights era Black power group that captured the attention of the FBI.
A literal bombing put an exclamation point to the end of the organization. But as soon as Sean could read on his own, he immersed himself in science fiction, fantasy, and comic books, while largely ignoring the history of his people. That ignorance morphs into a disturbing proposition and learning the truth of his parents' pasts could prove deadly.
Sean's exploration introduces him to music, girls, delusions of privilege, and the thrills of revolution, all while becoming an adult. The Queen of Saturn and the Prince in Exile marries golden age sci-fi with the nostalgia of roller skates, funk, and first love.
