SUMMARY:BINTI & BINTI:HOME - NNEDI OKORAFOR
DESCRIPTION:This novel is part of the Science Fiction Book Club`s 2017 seas
 on. Where we will explore our greatest hope\, and fear. Contact.\n\nThis m
 onth we`ll take our Contact season in a different direction and explore on
 e persons own personal first contact experience as they journey into the w
 ider universe by reading two novellas (pagecounts are 96 &amp\; 160) from 
 the Hugo and Nebula Award winning Nnedi-Okorafor.\n\nHer name is Binti\, a
 nd she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomz
 a University\, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. Bu
 t to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to trave
 l between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect h
 er customs.\n\nKnowledge comes at a cost\, one that Binti is willing to pa
 y\, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has lon
 g warred with the Meduse\, an alien race that has become the stuff of nigh
 tmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse\, and Binti’s stellar tr
 avel will bring her within their deadly reach. If Binti hopes to survive t
 he legacy of a war not of her making\, she will need both the the gifts of
  her people and the wisdom enshrined within the University\, itself – bu
 t first she has to make it there\, alive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
