Uncorrected page proofs of the first book of Lilith's Brood, also known as the Xenogenesis trilogy. Butler credited DAWN's post-catastrophe setting to the man then doing his best to make nuclear war a reality, explaining in one interview: "I got my idea for the Xenogenesis books (DAWN, ADULTHOOD RITES and IMAGO) from Ronald Reagan because he was advocating this kind of thing." The novel's hero, Lilith Iyapo, awakens to find herself held captive by the alien Oankali, a species with a poor opinion of human nature and an alarming action plan for fixing it. One of Butler's best, and scarce in this format. 9'' x 6''. Original printed gray wrappers. 264 pages. Minor toning to extremities of covers. Else sharp, clean, and bright.
