One woman is called upon to rebuild the future of humankind after a nuclear war, in this revelatory post-apocalyptic tale from the award-winning author of Parable of the Sower.
When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali-a seemingly benevolent alien race-intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth-but salvation comes at a price.
Hopeful and thought-provoking, this post-apocalyptic narrative deftly explores gender and race through the eyes of characters struggling to adapt during a pivotal time of crisis and change.

I've never been a fan of sci-fi books before but this one changed my mind and preferences. There is our extinguishing humanity along with extraterrestrials who've decided to save humans on account of their unbelievably "compelling" genes. The only thing is it wasn't because of alien's lovely heart but as a result of their trade ideas: they save or rather force their help, they give but expect to get more than just "thank you" in return.
Fascinating!
Sci-Fi als Literatur und nicht "nur" Unterhaltung

Spannendes Buch, das viele Fragen hinterlässt, was es heisst menschlich zu sein (oder eben nicht mehr). Die Geschichte schreitet schnell voran und macht Zeitsprünge, so dass das Buch nicht unnötig in die Länge gezogen wird.
Achtung: Am Ende des Buches hat es gute Fragen für "Reading Groups", falls jemand die schon vorher kurz anschauen möchte.
