In the technologically advanced African city of Numbani, in the not-sodistant future, humans live in harmony with humanoid robots known as omnics. But when a terrorist tries to shatter that unity, a hero named Efi Oladele rises! Efi has been making robots since she was little. But after she witnesses Doomfists catastrophic attack on the citys OR15 security bots, Efi feels the call to build something greater: a true guardian of Numbani. She engineers an intelligent and compassionate robot, Orisa, who has a lot to learn before shes ready to defeat Doomfist. Can Efi mould Orisa into the hero of Numbani before its too late?

For the book:

An engrossing read with smooth pacing and action-packed scenes.... Readers will root for this STEM-focused girl hero. -- Kirkus

For the game:


Blizzard's take on the team-based shooter is as polished as you'd expect, marrying tactical breadth with an emphasis on variety and inclusivity. -- The Guardian

It has been a very long time since I've felt this much passion for a game. Overwatch is a perfect storm. It's a new IP, looks gorgeous, plays phenomenally and singlehandedly rekindled my desire to play a genre of game I thought I'd left behind at this point. -- Forbes

Overwatch is an amazing experience. It's fresh and consistently fun, with matches that are great in random groups, but astonishingly good when played with friends. Blizzard has taken its masterful art of polishing and perfection to the team shooter, and things will never be the same. -- Game Informer
