THE SINS OF NAMES (Foreword by Prof. ...
A Battle for the Soul of a Nation
Imagine a vibrant yet deeply scarred corner of contemporary Kenya - Watu County - where the gleaming towers of Watu City cast long, deceptive shadows over neglected rural landscapes. This is the stage for "THE SINS OF NAMES," a searing, pulse-pounding novel that rips open the dark underbelly of political greed, corporate malfeasance, and human rights abuses.
At its heart lies a profound question: What happens when the very "names" – individuals, institutions, and even abstract concepts like power and profit – conspire to sin against humanity? And who will rise to challenge them?
Meet Governor Joshua, a charismatic yet ruthless political titan, whose influence extends like a dark tendril from his opulent office, orchestrating a vast network of corruption, from siphoned public funds laundered through a church, to predatory land grabs, and even the silencing of dissent through unspeakable violence. His inner circle, a chilling ensemble of enforcers and complicit officials, believes him untouchable.
But a new generation is rising. Diana Donald, a tenacious investigative journalist, channels her personal grief and a burning desire for justice into Double D Expressions, her digital platform. Alongside her, a diverse coalition emerges: Aisha, the brilliant tech activist whose data visualizations turn whispers into digital screams; Juma, the passionate grassroots organizer from the rural interior; and Liban Nguyo, the incorruptible DCI head, whose arrival sends shivers down the spines of the corrupt. Their individual battles, sparked by a father's fight against a fraudulent insurance giant and the brutal murder of a colleague, converge into a singular, electrifying crusade.
"THE SINS OF NAMES" is more than a story; it's an unflinching exposé of power, a heart-wrenching testament to loss, and a breathtaking saga of triumph. It's a novel where personal vendettas ignite public crusades, where love blossoms amidst chaos, and where every twist and turn reveals the terrifying depths of human depravity, juxtaposed against the indomitable spirit of those who dare to fight for truth and accountability.
With a powerful foreword by the one and only Prof. PLO Lumumba, this novel is not to be missed!
THE PUPPET PROTOCOL by Ephantus Mwenda
The President is a puppet. The nation, his stage. And the strings? They lead to the deepest, darkest corners of power, where corruption is absolute, and dissent is met with the cold kiss of a bullet. When a celebrated Chief Justice is brutally murdered for daring to expose the rot, a fractured, desperate resistance ignites. Led by the enigmatic Commander, Imani Kariuki, and her loyal, lethal Protector, Kito Mwamba, they embark on a suicide mission: to uncover a confession that could either free their country or plunge it into an irreversible abyss of civil war.
But the architect of this tyranny, President Sikamoo, wields "the Hammer"-the sadistic Scar Maluki, a man who knows no limits, no mercy, and who delights in turning hope to ash. From the blood-soaked streets of Nairobi to the chilling silence of torture chambers, every whisper is a risk, every shadow a threat. As the clock ticks down, loyalties shatter, betrayals fester, and the line between hero and villain blurs. This isn't just a fight for justice; it's a desperate, no-holds-barred struggle for the very breath of a nation, where the only prize is survival, and failure means a final, bloody silence.

The Gen Z Manifesto by Chris Njehu
Ever wonder what Kenya’s future would look like if the Gen Z movement could crystallise into an ideology pursued at the ballot? Could Kenya be where the Asian Tigers were in the 1960s, before they achieved their economic miracle? The Gen Z Manifesto takes a bold stab at answering these questions.
Grounded in history, the book examines the forces that have shaped Africa’s past and draws lessons from ancient civilisations, including Kemet (Ancient Egypt), Mesopotamia, the Han Chinese Empire and the Mali Empire. It then turns to the Asian Tigers and other high-performing Asian economies to explore the policies and conditions behind their remarkable transformation.
But The Gen Z Manifesto is more than an economic blueprint. It argues that strong families are the foundation of a strong society and calls for renewed efforts to create environments in which children can thrive under the guidance of both parents. At its political heart, the book revisits the birthplace of democracy in ancient Athens, where citizens gathered in the Agora to deliberate on matters affecting their society. Inspired by this tradition, it calls on Kenya’s Gen Z and Millennials to establish Citizens’ Deliberation Councils across the country—spaces where citizens can collectively shape Kenya’s social, political and economic agenda through consensus.

The Selectorate: When Judges Topple T...
Across Africa, the shift from authoritarian rule to elective civilian government has brought new challenges. Among them is the judiciary's evolving role in political outcomes. Judges, once constrained arbiters of electoral disputes, have become increasingly unconstrained in determining who holds power--shifting legitimacy from voters to the courts. In some cases, this influence has extended beyond the courtroom, creating a system where a small, connected elite decides leadership under the cover of legal process.In The Selectorate, Chidi Odinkalu examines how this shift took root, with Nigeria's judiciary playing a leading role in setting the precedent. Drawing on legal insight and first-hand experience, he unpacks the consequences of this quiet transformation and what it means for both judicial independence and the future of democracy in Africa.

How To Write About Africa by Binyavan...
A trailblazing collection of writing from Binyavanga Wainaina's extraordinary life
'In your text, treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving. Or it is hot and steamy with very short people who eat primates. Don't get bogged down with precise descriptions.'
Binyavanga Wainaina was a seminal author and activist, remembered as one of the greatest chroniclers of contemporary African life. After his death in 2019, this ground-breaking collection brings together his pioneering writing on the African continent for the first time.
A rule-breaker full of wry satire and piercing wisdom, this collection includes many of Binyavanga's most critically acclaimed pieces, including the viral satirical sensation How to Write About Africa. Writing fearlessly across a range of topics - from politics to international aid, cultural heritage and redefining sexuality, this is a remarkable illustration of a writer at the height of his power.

Dear Ijeawele, Or a Feminist Manifest...
Beyond Viral by Gichuki Jonia
Kenya is breaking …
After a wave of disappearances, abductions, and brutal crackdowns on young protesters, the country is learning a terrifying truth: some governments fear their youth more than their enemies.
When Emily Kirui, an activist, dreamer, sister — is abducted and murdered, the official story arrives quickly: criminal networks, bad company, unfortunate circumstances.
Her sister doesn’t believe a word of it …
Angie Kirui is a lawyer with a military upbringing, a mind built for strategy, and grief sharp enough to split a life in half. When the justice system fails, she turns to something older and more dangerous: vengeance.
One politician falls …
Then another target emerges.
But revenge has consequences.
Inside Kenya’s intelligence system, Trevor Thiong’o is already drowning in the machinery of a government spiraling toward paranoia — foreign influence operations, covert surveillance, cyber manipulation, and a security state increasingly willing to turn its weapons inward.
As the country edges toward unrest, Angie and Trevor are pulled into a collision course neither of them sees coming.
Because some wounds don’t heal.
They radicalize.
And some nations don’t collapse all at once.
They bleed.
A razor-sharp political thriller about grief, power, corruption, and the terrifying cost of justice in a country at war with itself.

Dead Reckoning
The first criminal investigation textbook written by an African practitioner, for the African investigator.
What happens when the modern police system fails to deliver justice, and communities turn to methods that have worked for centuries?
In Dead Reckoning I, retired senior intelligence and investigation officer J. Chelal draws on over thirty-five years of operational experience to write the book he wished had existed when he was a young constable. The result is a groundbreaking text that teaches modern investigative protocol, crime scene management, evidence handling, and the investigation of every major crime type, while doing something no other textbook does: taking seriously the African realities within which investigation actually occurs.
From the principles of investigation to the courtroom, this book walks the investigator through every stage of the criminal justice process. It includes detailed protocols for investigating homicide, robbery, traffic incidents, drug trafficking, cyber crime, community disputes, and gender-based violence. It explains the court process step by step. It confronts the contemporary challenges of political violence, artificial intelligence, and the exploitation of young Africans abroad, the neo-slavery of Kazi Majuu.
Most criminal investigation textbooks are written by Western academics for Western students, in contexts where forensic laboratories are available, witness protection is functional, and the community trusts the police. African investigators work in a different reality.
This book speaks directly to that reality. It acknowledges the resource constraints. It addresses the political pressures. It examines the spiritual dimensions of crime and justice that the formal system ignores. And it makes a compelling, evidence-based argument: that before colonialism introduced the modern police, Africa had its own effective systems of investigation, and those systems, the elder's council, the investigative oath, the community truth-finding ritual, still function today. The investigator who ignores them is investigating with one eye closed.
The Devil within
In the corrupt corridors of the Ministry of Trade, Silas is invisible—until he decides to become the system’s conscience. After witnessing years of systemic theft and greed led by the arrogant Minister Kalu, Silas launches a precise, calculated shadow war to dismantle the rot from within. Branded as "the Devil" by those he hunts, Silas must prove that in a city built on silence, the truth is the most powerful weapon of all. The Devil Within is a gripping political thriller about justice, invisibility, and the ultimate price of pride.
The Mask of the Savannah
In the Republic of Zuwena, the charismatic Jaza Pesa wins the premiership on grand promises of free education and clean water for the poor. But once inside the State Palace, the campaign poetry dies. Confronted with an empty treasury, the new regime builds a massive wall to hide the wealth of the elite from the scarcity of the Mizizi slums, sparking a chain reaction of strikes, water rationing, and state violence. Driven by the insights of a brilliant student leader named Amani, the community must learn a dangerous new literacy to unmask the true face of power. A powerful, timely contemporary African narrative about corruption, survival, and the ultimate accountability of the written word.
