Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

This conclusion to the Xenogenesis series (Dawn and Adulthood Rights) focuses on Jodahs, the child of a union between humans, alien Oankali, and the sexless ooloi. The Oankali and ooloi are part of an extraterrestrial species that saved humanity from nuclear oblivion, but many humans feel the price for their help is too high: the Oankali and ooloi intend to genetically merge with humanity, creating a new species at the expense of the old. Even though the Oankali have--against their better judgment--created a human colony on Mars so that humanity as a species can continue unaltered, many human "resisters" either have not heard of the Mars colony or don't believe the Oankali will allow them to live there. Jodahs, who was thought to be a male but who is actually maturing into the first ooloi from a human/Oankali union, finds a pair of resisters who prove that some pure humans are still fertile. These humans may be his only hope to find successful mates, but they have been raised to revile and despise his species above all else.


Product Description

The futures of both humans and Oankali rest in one young being's successful metamorphosis into adulthood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book..., Jan 29 2003
By A Customer
this is a wonderful book, but buy "Lilith's Brood" instead, which includes this book and the other two in the trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Conclusion to a Great Series, May 23 2002
By watzizname "watzizname" (Murfreesboro, Tennessee) - See all my reviews
An outstandingly fine story! This is the third and final book of Xenogenesis, also published as "Lilith's Brood" (all 3 books in one cover; cheaper than buying them separately). See "Lilith's Brood" for reviews of the entire series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Jun 21 2001
By Raquel B. (Mount Vernon, New York USA) - See all my reviews
Butler at her usual best. Blending the what ifs into now and what could be. Butler as always brings new meaning to "Why can't we all get along?"

Imago was one of the first Butler books I've read. The only disappointing part was that I read it too quickly. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a first-rate talent
How does Butler do it? Her novels get better as the series advances! Usually, they degenerate, like movies sequels, where you get more of the same as the auteur tries to milk it... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars best of the series

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Conclusion To An Excellent Series!
Before I selected an omnibus called Xenogenesis from the Sci Fi Book club (containing: Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago), I had never heard of Octavia Butler. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, creative, disturbing
This series is very good. The premise is interesting. It's well written, compelling, and paints a grim future for the human race.
