Binti: The Complete Trilogy (Binti Trilogy)
ByPublisher Description
Includes a brand-new Binti story!
Collected for the first time in a trade paperback omnibus edition, the Hugo- and Nebula-award-winning Binti trilogy, the story of one extraordinary girl's journey from her home to distant Oomza University.
In her Hugo- and Nebula-winning novella, Nnedi Okorafor introduced us to Binti, a young Himba girl with the chance of a lifetime: to attend the prestigious Oomza University. Despite her family's concerns, Binti's talent for mathematics and her aptitude with astrolabes make her a prime candidate to undertake this interstellar journey.
But everything changes when the jellyfish-like Medusae attack Binti's spaceship, leaving her the only survivor. Now, Binti must fend for herself, alone on a ship full of the beings who murdered her crew, with five days until she reaches her destination.
There is more to the history of the Medusae--and their war with the Khoush--than first meets the eye. If Binti is to survive this voyage and save the inhabitants of the unsuspecting planet that houses Oomza Uni, it will take all of her knowledge and talents to broker the peace.
But even if Binti achieves this remarkable feat, it's not the end of her story. For this lone Himba woman, now bonded with a Medusa and forever changed by this bond, still must find a way to survive and thrive at Oomza University amid swirling interspecies biases. And eventually, she must return home to test the strength of the fragile peace she worked so hard to win.
Collected now for the first time in omnibus form--and introducing a new Binti story--follow Binti's journey in this groundbreaking sci-fi trilogy.

“If you have not read the Binti trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor you definitely need to make that correction.
For being an epic Sci-fi, I was never confused or unsure of what was happening. Everything was laid out very clearly. I found that I could not put this book down. The story is extremely compelling and keeps you interested at all points. It flowed very well between the different stories. There were never any moments of boredom for me, even during a time of set up to another climax. It was all extremely enthralling. Binti is probably one of the best written characters I've ever read about. The emotional trauma that she goes through is extremely devastating to the soul, but you get such a feeling of tenacity and willpower from Binti.
For a quick synopsis, Binti is from a Himba community on earth. She is accepted to a prestigious university on another planet. However, nobody from Binti's family really leaves their village. Against the wishes of her family, Binti decides to steal away in the early morning and head to university regardless. While traveling to university, the ship she is on is Invaded by an alien species and her and the pilot end up being the only survivors. The rest of the story is Binti dealing with the aftermath of that invasion, dealing with the loss of her new friends, and with her new relationship with the alien invaders. Betty becomes a medium point between two communities that have been at war with each other for centuries. And you get to watch her deal with being that spokes person when that's some thing she never asked for. The entire story is very emotional and raw.
I will absolutely be reading more works by this author.”
