Lilith's baby, Akin, looks human. He is not. The alien
Oankali, driven by irresistible need, have genetically
merged with us. But there are rebels who resist the Oankali
tide. Childless humans desperate to regain their world, they
seek to "cleanse" the "alien taint" by kidnapping hybrid
children like Akin. The raiders are blind to the truth:
Earth's new children love all their parents. Babies destined
to touch the universe, they are growing starships from the
Earth that will eventually take the planet with them,
leaving nothing behind.
Only an infant can make his despairing captors see that
humankind's future is already lost. And won.
