Dawn: After nuclear war destroys the world, Earth's survivors are rescued by the miraculously powerful Oankali aliens - who survive by merging genetically with primitive peoples without their permission. Adulthood Rites: Desperate to regain their world, childless humans seek to cleanse the alien taint by kidnapping hybrid children. But the raiders are blind to the truth of Earth's new children. Imago: The futures of both humans and aliens rest in one young being's successful metamorphosis into adulthood.

Hits you in the DNA

I'm endlessly impressed with Octavia Butler. Fantasy enticements heavily balanced with terrifying entailments, laden with keen observations of psychology, biology, sex, culture, and ethics. In a story that doesn't quit. Wow.
