Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When unattended environmental and economic crises lead to social chaos, not even gated communities are safe. In a night of fire and death Lauren Olamina, a minister's young daughter, loses her family and home and ventures out into the unprotected American landscape. But what begins as a flight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny...and the birth of a new faith. Review:"Impassioned...stands out as a testament to the author's enormous talent." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Review:"Enthralling...compelling and truly original." Denver Post Review:"Octavia E. Butler is one of the finest voices in fiction — period....A master storyteller, Butler casts an unflinching eye on racism, sexism, poverty, and ignorance and lets the reader see the terror and beauty of human nature." Washington Post Book World Review:"A new Octavia Butler novel is an exciting event....She is one of those rare authors who pay serious attention to the way human beings actually work together and against each other, and she does so with extraordinary plausibility." Locus Review:"Butler's books are exceptional....She is a realist, writing the most detailed social criticism and creating some of the most fascinating female characters in the genre...real women caught in impossible situations." The Village Voice Review:"Splendid...immensely interesting...provocative, intelligent writing....A parable that deserves to be pondered."
