Dawn
by Butler, Octavia
In Dawn, the first of the Xenogenesis Series, later retitled Lilith's Brood, Lilith Iyapo awakens after the destruction of Earth and centuries of sleep aboard a spacecraft piloted by the Oankali. After learning all they could about Earth and the human race, the Oankali plan to reestablish life on the planet by cross-breeding with humans. They see humans as intelligent beings but cursed with the fatal flaw of hierarchy, which the cross-breeding will resolve.
