About this book

When the Earth is destroyed, the only hope for human life is in the form of the alien Oankali, who have rescued a precious few survivors. But will humans cope with having to interbreed with the repulsive-seeming aliens, and what hybrid form will appear as a result? Over the three novels, Dawn, Adulthood Rites and Imago, Butler explores the conflicts that arise from the human relationship with the Oankali, and between the human survivors and the hybrid children. Why it’s on the list: Exogamy, the marriage between human and alien, has never been more thoroughly explored than in this trilogy.
