The novel, written by French-Congolese author Claude Mombo Baros and translated by Eduardo Jiménez, follows three distinct destinies across different eras. In the ancient world, an ingenious thinker named Zoba and a young commander named Kengi struggle against the collapse of their civilization. Centuries later, a student named Louis embarks on a journey from Africa to France and finally the United States, only to discover that his life is tethered to a history he is just beginning to understand.
Claude Mombo Baros Brings Epic Saga KONGO to U.S. Audiences
Some stories cross borders, while others span centuries. On September 15, 2026, Solviseo Éditions launched the English-language audiobook of KONGO, The Secret Link — Volume 1: To the West. Narrated by Art Brown, the production introduces U.S. listeners to a sweeping narrative that bridges ancient African history with modern migration.
Baros, who transitioned to literature after a career in finance and risk management, crafted the saga to explore how inherited memories and cultural legacies shape individual identity. The audiobook format serves as a deliberate choice for the author, who believes that hearing the rhythmic voices of his characters offers a deeper dimension to the experience of exile and ambition. Alongside the audiobook, Solviseo Éditions has released paperback and eBook versions to accommodate readers across multiple formats.
