From the award-winning author of Parable of the Sower:After the near-
extinction of humanity, a new kind of alien-human hybrid must come to terms
with their identity -- before their powers destroy what is left of humankind.
Since a nuclear war decimated the human population, the remaining humans began
to rebuild their future by interbreeding with an alien race -- the Oankali --
who saved them from near-certain extinction. The Oankalis' greatest skill lies
in the species' ability to constantly adapt and evolve, a process that is
guided by their third sex, the ooloi, who are able to read and mutate genetic
code.
Now, for the first time in the humans' relationship with the Oankali, a human
mother has given birth to an ooloi child: Jodahs. Throughout his childhood,
Jodahs seemed to be a male human-alien hybrid. But when he reaches
adolescence, Jodahs develops the ooloi abilities to shapeshift, manipulate
DNA, cure and create disease, and more. Frightened and isolated, Jodahs must
either come to terms with this new identity, learn to control new powers, and
unite what's left of humankind -- or become the biggest threat to their
survival.
