A fiery spirit dances from the pages of the Great Book. She brings the
aroma of scorched sand and ozone. She has a story to tell
.
THE BOOK OF PHOENIX is a unique work of magical futurism. A prequel to
the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award-winning novel, Who Fears
Death, it features the rise of another of Nnedi Okorafor’s powerful,
memorable, superhuman women.
Phoenix was grown and raised among other genetic experiments in New
York’s Tower 7. She is an “accelerated woman”—only two years old but with
the body and mind of an adult, Phoenix’s abilities far exceed those of a
normal human. Still innocent and inexperienced in the ways of the world,
she is content living in her room speed reading e-books, running on her
treadmill, and basking in the love of Saeed, another biologically altered
human of Tower 7.
Then one evening, Saeed witnesses something so terrible that he takes his
own life. Devastated by his death and Tower 7’s refusal to answer her
questions, Phoenix finally begins to realize that her home is really her
prison, and she becomes desperate to escape.
But Phoenix’s escape, and her destruction of Tower 7, is just the
beginning of her story. Before her story ends, Phoenix will travel from
the United States to Africa and back, changing the entire course of
humanity’s future.
