From “one of science fiction’s finest writers”: A young woman
with tremendous psychic power battles to set a new course for mankind
(The New York Times). The baby’s name is Mary, and her father is
immortal. For thousands of years he has orchestrated a selective
breeding project, attempting to create a master race capable of
controlling others through thought. Most of his attempts have resulted
in volatile mutations, but Mary—whom he has raised in the rough part
of a Southern California town—is the closest he has come to
perfection. If he doesn’t handle her carefully, this greatest
experiment will be his last. As Mary comes of age, she begins to grow
aware of her psychic powers. And when she learns of her father’s
plans for her, she refuses to acquiesce. She challenges him to a
psychic war, battling to free her people and set a new course for
mankind. Multiple Nebula and Hugo award–winning author Octavia
Butler’s epic and thought-provoking Patternist series has fascinated
generations of readers, exploring the effects of power and what it
means to be human. This ebook features an illustrated biography of
Octavia E. Butler including rare images from the author’s estate.
