: Sumérgete en una Londres de 1780 reimaginada de forma visceral, donde se revelan las historias ocultas de soldados afroamericanos que luchan por su libertad tras la Revolución Americana.

En una ciudad caótica y en constante evolución, se ven empujados a una vida al margen de la ley. Su única esperanza reside en un plan audaz que podría cambiar su destino para siempre. Esta obra desentierra una narrativa largamente olvidada de la comunidad negra en Gran Bretaña, ofreciendo una mirada fascinante a un capítulo poco conocido de la historia.

- Book 4 of 10: Black Britain: Writing Back
A visceral reimagining of 1780s London, showcasing the untold stories of African-American soldiers grappling with their post-war freedom
'Remarkable' David Dabydeen
In the years just after the American revolution, London was the unlikely refuge for thousands of black Americans who fought for liberty on the side of the British.
Buckram, Georgie and William have earned their freedom and escaped their American oppressors, but on the streets of London, poverty awaits with equal cruelty.
Ruthless, chaotic and endlessly evolving, London forces them into a life of crime, and a life on the margins. Their only hope for a better future is to concoct a scheme so daring, it will be a miracle if it pays off.
Bursting with energy and vivid detail, Incomparable World boldly uncovers a long-buried narrative of black Britain.
'Adventurous and exuberant . . . a rollicking thriller [that] pulsates with vivacity' Bernardine Evaristo
