He is born with extraordinary sensory powers, understanding speech at birth, speaking in sentences at two months old, and soon developing the ability to see at the molecular level. The first true hybrid is a boy named Akin-son of Lilith Iyapo- and to the naked eye he looks human, for now. The Oankali survive by mixing their DNA with that of other species, and now on Earth they have permitted no child to be born without an Oankali parent. Nuclear war had nearly destroyed mankind when the Oankali came to the rescue, saving humanity-but at a price. The futures of both mankind and an alien species rest in the hands of one hybrid son in the award-winning science fiction author’s masterful sequel to Dawn.
