REMOTE CONTROL

Narrator Adjoa Andoh captivates listeners with a stunning new sci-fi novella set in a near-future Ghana. Andoh is perfectly in tune with Okorafor’s compelling story, smoothly switching between her British accent as the narrator and the intonations of the vibrant characters she brings to life. Sankofa is the adopted daughter of the Angel of Death. As a girl, she gains incredible power and then kills everyone she loves in a tragic accident. Exploring the country on foot, she learns to control her powers and hunts down the alien artifact stolen from her—the seed responsible for her deadly transformation. Andoh’s skills with pacing and tone help listeners feel Sankofa’s anger, her longing for community, and her legendary strength. E.E.C.
