🇺🇸 From Corporate Leader To Critically Acclaimed Fiction Author: Black Leaders Are Targets

By Darius Myers

Seven Books and Counting: The Black Camelot Saga Is a High-Stakes Political Face-Off

After decades spent as a senior marketing and media executive at powerhouses like Time Warner and USA Today itself, Darius Myers has become a major voice in fiction with his seven-book "Black Camelot" series. Critically acclaimed by Kirkus Reviews, this high-stakes political thriller saga asks: What happens when America's most successful Black elite become the target?

Myers has translated the strategic thinking from the boardroom into his fiction, creating a world where immense wealth meets intense peril, and the fight is often against forces embedded in the highest levels of power.

Aspirational Heroes with a Moral Mandate

The "Black Camelot" series centers on a group of elite, successful Black New Yorkers—achievers like Donald Alexander, Kwame Mills, and Samantha Rivers—who have reached the pinnacle of power and influence. But their success isn't just about yachts and penthouse views; it comes with a profound responsibility:

• The Mandate to Do Good: Myers makes clear that their wealth is governed by a moral imperative—a clear directive to use their power to secure the common good. This commitment turns their personal struggle into a fight for greater social impact.

Myers connects deeply with readers who identify with this blend of success and faith: “I’m also moved by how people identify—-these are fancy, smart, beautiful and handsome achievers, with heart, a lot of loot who go to church on Sunday and get on their knees at night with thanks in their hearts... There’s not a better feel than when a reader tells they identify or are living vicariously and invested protectively in my characters.”

Page-Turning Conflict: Facing the Deep State

The "Black Camelot" books are page-turning political thrillers that immerse readers in a terrifying game of influence against friends and enemies of the deep state. The good guys—the Black Camelots—are locked in a continuous, high-stakes face-off with powerful forces who want them dead.

The greatest threat comes from legendary white supremacist groups and the awakened power and evil activity of a prevailing white supremacist and his force. The Black Camelots are focused on keeping the country safe from these dark forces, making the stakes higher than personal survival.

Security So Elite, They Never Look Back

To prevail in this continuous pursuit of safety, the Black Camelots rely on their elite security. They are members of the secretive "Guiding Force," whose security is outsourced to the Society of Protectors (their "secret army").

• Fearless Focus: With security likened to that of top world leaders, the Camelots are liberated from anxiety. They don't have to look over their shoulders. This frees them to focus their energy entirely on executing their high-stakes mission to secure the common good, making them formidable and hyper-efficient leaders whose vigilance is never compromised.

Darius Myers, having leveraged his career expertise, has crafted a saga that delivers non-stop action while exploring deep themes of power, responsibility, and the persistent danger facing the country. The "Black Camelot" series proves that the strategies learned in the boardroom can launch a powerful new empire in fiction.
