Extended Synopsis

Collected for the first time in an omnibus edition, Binti: The Complete Trilogy follows the extraordinary journey of Binti, a young Himba woman from Earth. Blessed with a natural aptitude for mathematics and the technical skill to operate astrolabes, Binti is the first of her people offered a place at the prestigious Oomza University. However, her journey is interrupted when her ship is attacked by the Medusae—a jellyfish-like species at war with the Khoush.

As the sole survivor, Binti must use her heritage and intellectual prowess to survive a five-day voyage with the very beings who murdered her crew. What follows is a transformative arc of interspecies diplomacy, as Binti becomes physically and spiritually bonded with the Medusae. This groundbreaking trilogy explores themes of cultural identity, the price of education, and the necessity of peace in a hostile universe. This edition also includes a brand-new Binti story for long-time fans.
