The Justice Trilogy, also called the Justice Cycle, was a rare trip into the world of young-adult science-fiction by an African-American writer,[1] the critically acclaimed Newbery Medal and National Book Award author Virginia Hamilton. The series consists of three books.[2][3]

  • Justice and Her Brothers (1978). A young African-American girl finds her idyllic rural summer disturbed by the discovery that both she and her somewhat sinister twin brothers have powerful psychic powers.[4]
  • Dustland (1980). The siblings from the first volume, together with a friend, time travel into a strange post-apocalyptic future.[5]
  • The Gathering (1981). Justice and her brothers must overcome their sibling rivalries in order to defeat a malevolent entity from the future.[6]
