Matching Set of 3 Paperbacks published by Aspect Science Fiction with Gold Logos and covers by John June Palencar. In a world devastated by nuclear war with humanity on the edge of extinction, aliens finally make contact. They rescue those humans they can, keeping most survivors in suspended animation while the aliens begin the slow process of rehabilitating the planet. When Lilith Iyapo is "awakened," she finds that she has been chosen to revive her fellow humans in small groups by first preparing them to meet the utterly terrifying aliens, then training them to survive on the wilderness that the planet has become. But the aliens cannot help humanity without altering it forever. Bonded to the aliens in ways no human has ever known, Lilith tries to fight them even as her own species comes to fear and loathe her. A stunning story of invasion and alien contact by one of science fiction's finest writers.

My personal favorite sci-fi trilogy. I have reviewed the individual volumes separately:- Dawn- Adulthood Rites- ImagoMind blowing, thought provoking, thrilling stuff. (Plenty more hyperbole in the above mentioned reviews!) One thing I particularly want to mention about the author is I love how she e...

It's been a few months since I read this, but I realized I'd not reviewed it and wanted to put in a few words.I can't express to you how refreshing it was to read an African American female protagonist who didn't speak with urban slang, who wasn't worried about finding a man and, in general, didn't ...

Sometimes it can be tricky to read a series in an omnibus like this. You don't get the chance to read and experience each book individually. However as a whole, this series was practically a masterpiece for me. It is so engrossing and thought-provoking. I've always considered myself an optimistic pe...

Cool presentation simultaneously of a post-apocalyptic setting and a geocentric aliens narrative. The aliens aren't quite right, but they're not caricatures of the genocidal maniacs from Wells, either--they conceive of themselves as "traders," mostly in genetic material, and they appear to be pure ...
