Eddie Dee Williams Brings Black Superheroes Center Stage with The Affinity Theory
The Affinity Theory
Los Angeles, CA — The next great superhero saga has arrived! Independent fiction author Eddie Dee Williams is shaking up the superhero fantasy genre with the release of his debut adult superhero romance thriller, The Affinity Theory – The Affinity Saga Book 1. Officially launched on October 25, 2024, this novel takes readers on an electrifying journey through power, passion, and the complexities of heroism.
A Fresh Take on Superheroes and Representation
Some fans of the superhero genre have grown fatigued by the endless reboots of classic characters, wondering if anyone will bring something new to the table. At the same time, Black audiences—despite a resurgence of celebrated Black stories in recent years—continue to see limited representation in fantasy and science fiction. Williams masterfully addresses both concerns with The Affinity Theory, elevating the genre with rich world-building, diverse characters, and atypical storytelling tropes that subtly reflect facets of the Black experience.
The novel blends high-stakes action, emotional depth, and intricate relationships, offering something rarely seen in mainstream superhero fiction. Williams delivers a fast-paced, universal story of courage, love, laughter, and determination, set against the backdrop of an exciting new universe.
The Story: A High-Stakes Superhero Thriller Blending Romance, Power, and Destiny
On a distant planet in a faraway galaxy, Malcolm, the leader of the Elite Unit of the Uri City Division of the Company, and Symone, his mentee and the newest member of the Elite, find themselves racing against time. Alongside their superpowered teammates, they must stop a serial-killing menace and his team of assassins from wiping out the powered population—and murdering one of their own.
Williams transports readers into an immersive world filled with thrilling action, witty characters, intense romance, explosive battle sequences, and world-ending stakes. The novel balances high-energy superhero storytelling with deep emotional connections, leaving readers craving more with each turn of the page.
The Man Behind the Story
Williams, a Valdosta, GA native, is not only a devoted storyteller but also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. His deep understanding of relationships and interpersonal dynamics plays a key role in the authenticity of his characters. A husband to Nicole and father to two daughters, Marie and Allison, he balances his time between writing, working, and babysitting his daughters’ dogs.
His passion for storytelling is fueled by his faith, psychology background, and a love for action-packed franchises like Mission: Impossible, Power Rangers, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and character-driven series like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Ocean’s Eleven.
A Book That’s Already Making Waves
Since its release, The Affinity Theory has quickly gained traction among readers, with Williams announcing that over 300 copies were sold within the first three weeks. That number has now surpassed 1000 copies, with fans eager for more. The excitement has led to early pre-orders for Book 2, proving that The Affinity Saga is well on its way to becoming a major force in the superhero genre.
