Description

In this thrilling Afrofuturistic tale, a young girl's encounter with an alien artifact transforms her into Death's adopted daughter and a wielder of incredible power.

"She's the adopted daughter of the Angel of Death. Beware of her. Mind her. Death guards her like one of its own."

The day Fatima forgot her name, Death paid a visit. From hereon in she would be known as Sankofa—a name that meant nothing to anyone but her, the only tie to her family and her past.

Her touch is death, and with a glance a town can fall. And she walks—alone, except for her fox companion—searching for the object that came from the sky and gave itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged; searching for answers.

But is there a greater purpose for Sankofa, now that Death is her constant companion?

Remote Control is a gripping science fiction adventure from Nebula and Hugo Award-winner Nnedi Okorafor that explores themes of community and female empowerment. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award (audiobook version).
