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.; Xenogenesis; Ex-Library; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 264 pages.

Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. 1st printing. Cloth & boards. 264pp. Lower 1 1/2" of dj with foxing, which has transferred over to the paper-covered boards. Okay, we know that we hate foxing on books and paper, but unless you need an expensive fine copy, this may work for you. The book has no bumps or other flaws other than (! ) the foxing. The dj is, other than the foxing (! ) near fine and unclipped. As a professional bookseller I am not particularly happy endorsing a copy with this visual issue, but the copy is not a clunker, either. From the dj: Butler's "...first major work since winning the coveted Hugo and Nebula awards..."
