From the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of Parable of the Sower, an epic, sensual, and disturbing afrofuturistic trilogy of human transformation—presented for the first time in a single volume.
Lilith Iyapo is in the Andes, mourning the death of her family, when war destroys Earth.
Centuries later, she is resurrected by miraculously powerful unearthly beings called the Oankali.
Driven by an irresistible need to heal others, the Oankali are rescuing our dying planet by merging genetically with mankind. But Lilith and all humanity must now share the world with uncanny, unimaginably alien creatures: their own children.
This is their story ...
Includes an introduction by Joan Slonczewski, Ph.D.

OCTAVIA E. BUTLERwas a renowned writer who received a MacArthur "Genius" Grant and PEN West Lifetime Achievement Award for her body of work. She was the author of several award-winning novels including Parable of the Sower, which was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and was acclaimed for her lean prose, strong protagonists, and social observations in stories that range from the distant past to the far future. Sales of her books have increased enormously since her death as the issues she addressed in her Afrofuturistic, feminist novels and short fiction have only become more relevant. She passed away on February 24, 2006.
