Lagoon

A star falls from the sky. A woman rises from the sea.

The world will never be the same.

Three strangers, each isolated by their own problems: Adaora, the marine biologist. Anthony, the rapper famous throughout Africa. Agu, the troubled soldier. Wandering Bar Beach in Lagos, Nigeria's legendary mega-city, they're more alone than they've ever been before. But when something like a meteorite plunges into the ocean and a tidal wave overcomes them, these three people will find themselves bound together in ways they could never imagine. Together with Ayodele, a visitor from beyond the stars, they must race through Lagos and against time itself in order to save the city, the world ... and themselves. Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor unfolds a breathtaking tale of interconnected destinies, where the margins of reality and the unknown blur in the bustling backdrop of Lagos.
