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).
