Before I share my guest post here is a little about the book.
Book Blurb:
YOU’RE THE PRINCE OF AN ALIEN AFRICAN TRIBE AND IT AIN’T WAKANDA
When a secret world of ancient alien kingdoms and evil corporations clashes with adolescents, school, and homework. You won’t be able to put down this wild adventure of discovery, friendship, and coming of age!
What would you do if you discovered you were descended from ancient alien African royalty and you could hold the key to save your friends, family, and the world from evil destructive forces?
Joshua N’Gon seemed like an ordinary boy. Raised in a loving foster home in north London and a gifted student at the St Augustine private school. But as he grew older, a thirst for meaning and true purpose began to grow greater and greater…
With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility
On Joshua’s tenth birthday he received mysterious packages from his birth parents. Parents who had left him as a baby under mysterious circumstances. Opening the packages, he would find gifts that would forever change him both mentally and physically. Magical technology unlike anything he had ever seen and the best part, only he could use it. But his secrets would not stay that way for long. Evil forces were gathering and they would stop at nothing to acquire the powerful science behind his amazing inventions
With the help of his two best friends, Brick and Mina, Joshua sets out to develop his abilities, find his real parents and stop the Technology Billionaire Kanu Umbekwi from subjugating the planet.
Buckle up and get ready to go on an exciting thrill ride, full of suspense, mystery, and alien technology with Joshua N’Gon, The Last Prince of Alkebulahn.
Character Spotlight: Kanu Umbekwi
I’m sure you’ve heard that a great protagonist in a story must have an equally great antagonist. Well cooking up a great bad guy is important, and I wanted to add some elements that help make up a truly relatable but deliciously evil super villain for my YA novel Joshua N’Gon:Last Prince of Alkebulahn
Name
In our tale, our main bad guy is Kanu Umbekwi. A super smart, technologist and revolutionary from the hi-tech tribe of Alkebulahn in Rumundiland, Africa. To add to his appeal and mystery he has lost his memory and has been ostracized from his home to the Outerlands – a name given to the outside world by the Akhans. No one knows him by his real name, only as a symbol.
Costume
Kanu is a slick dresser and his African roots mean he loves colors and bold designs. As he regains more of his memory, his attire will become more flamboyant, like his peers in Alkebulahn.
Evil Idiosyncrasy
Kanu loves stories. Telling them and being told them. If you don’t know the rules of his favorite art form, he gets very angry indeed. Trying reporting to him without an inciting incident and characters his usual calm could transform into a storm. Staff members have been known to disappear for less.
Henchmen
Ebon and Ivor are Kanu’s bodyguards and they rarely leave his side. They have been modified using alien technology and are physically better than any Outlander human. They do Kanu’s bidding without question.
Lair
Being a multi-billionaire Kanu has Lairs around the world in Switzerland, the UK, USA, and Africa. He even has a mobile man-made island. His favorite and not quite a traditional lair is his Airship Accordance. It’s two football fields long, electronically cloaked to visible spectrums and can fly at 15,000 feet with labs and testing facilities manned by fifty staff. It can take him anywhere in the world.
Over Complex Deathtraps
It’s a sign of his genius and creativity that he will devise these traps against his adversaries, proving to them that he can outwit and destroy them at every corner. He may have met his match in young Joshua N’Gon.
Doomsday Machine
That would be telling. What I can say Kanu does have big plans, that will become clear as the books progress.
Nemesis
He doesn’t know the full story but Kanu is beginning to understand that Joshua N’Gon could be the only adversary standing in his way to world dominance.
