Lilith lyapo awakes from a centuries-long sleep to find herself aboard the vast spaceship of an alien race called the Oankali. Creatures covered in writhing tentacles, the Oankali have saved every surviving human from a dying world devastated by nuclear war. They have healed the planet, cured cancer, increased strength, and are now ready to help Lilith lead her people back to Earth – but for a price. A stunning story of invasion and alien contact by one of science fiction's finest writers.
