Hardback. Condition: Fair. One woman is called upon to rebuild the future of humankind after a nuclear war, in this revelatory post-apocalyptic tale from the award-winning author of Parable of the Sower. When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali--a seemingly benevolent alien race--intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth--but salvation comes at a price.Hopeful and thought-provoking, this post-apocalyptic narrative deftly explores gender and race through the eyes of characters struggling to adapt during a pivotal time of crisis and change.

Stated first edition, first printing of Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Octavia E. Butler (1947-2006). Butler was an American science-fiction author and a multiple recipient of the Hugo and Nebula awards, as well as the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship. This is the debut novel in the Xenogenesis trilogy: Dawn (1987), Adulthood Rites (1988), and Imago (1989); these stories were republished in 2000 as the collection Lilith s Brood. The Xenogenesis series examines the theme of alienation by creating situations in which humans are forced to coexist with other species to survive and extends Butler s recurring exploration of genetically altered, hybrid individuals and communities. In Dawn, protagonist Lilith lyapo finds herself in a spaceship after surviving a nuclear apocalypse that destroys Earth,and saved by the Oankali aliens. It is determined that the human survivors must combine their DNA with an ooloi, the Oankali s third sex, in order to create a new race that eliminates a self-destructive flaw in human beings (aggressive hierarchical tendencies).
