“There are no people left to draw lines on maps and say which sides of those lines are the right sides": First edition of Octavia Butler's Dawn; inscribed by her to critic D. Douglas Fratz
First edition of the first installment in the Xenogenesis trilogy. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To Don the Reviewer! Best Wishes Octavia Butler." The recipient, well-known science fiction critic D. Douglas Fratz was the publisher and editor of Thrust-Science Fiction & Fantasy Review. A prolific reviewer, he was a five-time Hugo Award nominee. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket illustration by Enric. Jacket design by Don Puckey. A nice association.
The brilliant debut volume of Octavia E. Butler's Xenogenesis Series, Dawn opens the book on the possibility of mankind's genetic evolution beyond humanity. A riveting science fiction saga of far-future adventure and far-reaching implications, this unforgettable novel exceeds the limits of twentieth century genetic engineering to transport its readers to a fascinating new world, one inhabited by a hybrid generation founded on the principles of gene trading and brought back to our home planet.
