About This Book
Die Oankali, reisende galaktische Genhaendler, haben die menschliche Spezies als genetische Fehlentwicklung und als Gefahr für die Entwicklung des Lebens im Kosmos erkannt und ihr die Fähigkeit zur Fortpflanzung genommen. Die ersten »Konstruierten«, genetische Mischlinge aus Oankali und Menschen, versuchen zu vermitteln, doch vergeblich.
