One volume, three unforgettable books: Octavia E. Butler’s Xenogenesis omnibus collects Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago in a single, shelf-worthy hardcover.
This is big-idea Science Fiction that’s also intensely human—about survival, consent, belonging, and what “human” even means after catastrophe.
