They rescue those humans they can, keeping most survivors in suspended animation while the aliens begin the slow process of rehabilitating the planet. When Lilith Iyapo is "awakened," she finds that she has been chosen to revive her fellow humans in small groups by first preparing them to meet the utterly terrifying aliens, then training them to survive on the wilderness that the planet has become. But the aliens cannot help humanity without altering it forever. Bonded to the aliens in ways no human has ever known, Lilith tries to fight them even as her own species comes to fear and loathe her. A stunning story of invasion and alien contact by one of science fiction's finest writers. 1008111 1987 Dawn (Book One of the Xenogenesis Series) total:1217|5:421|4:495|3:252|2:40|1:9| 1217 4930 1615 116 5 1 false false Mon Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 13:51:03 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 20:27:28 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jul 13 18:47:15 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 18:54:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Tue Oct 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 21:30:59 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 21:39:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Sun Jul 19 13:17:52 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 21:36:23 -0700 2009 The Sum of all Fears, which might more accurately have been named Jack Ryan Saves The World While Everybody Else Runs Around Like Chickens With Their Heads Cut Off.
