# Remote Control - Hardcover

by **Nnedi Okorafor** (Author)

**An alien artifact turns a young girl into Death's adopted daughter in _Remote Control_, a thrilling sci-fi tale of community and female empowerment from Nebula and Hugo Award-winner Nnedi Okorafor**

**"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?

**_Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award_** (audiobook version).
