Resumen del Editor
As the acclaimed Patternist science-fiction series begins, two immortals meet in the long-ago past - and mankind's destiny is changed forever.
For a thousand years, Doro has cultivated a small African village, carefully breeding its people in search of seemingly unattainable perfection. He survives through the centuries by stealing the bodies of others, a technique he has so thoroughly mastered that nothing on Earth can kill him. But when a gang of New World slavers destroys his village, ruining his grand experiment, Doro is forced to go west and begin anew. He meets Anyanwu, a centuries-old woman whose means of immortality are as kind as his are cruel. She is a shape-shifter, capable of healing with a kiss, and she recognizes Doro as a tyrant. Though many humans have tried to kill them, these two demi-gods have never before met a rival. Now they begin a struggle that will last centuries and permanently alter the nature of humanity.

Historia
When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Historia
It is Egypt in 2000 BC, where death gives meaning to life. At the foot of a cliff lies the broken, twisted body of Nofret, concubine to a ka-priest. Young, beautiful, and venomous, most agree that it was fate - she deserved to die like a snake! But at her father's house on the banks of the Nile, the priest's daughter Renisenb believes that the woman's death is suspicious. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within their household - and watches helplessly as the family's passions explode in murder.

Historia
Thelma Foy, a jeweler with the Second Sight in iron-bedecked 1890s New Orleans, wasn't expecting to be caught in a faery conflict. Tam can see through the glamours faeries wear to hide themselves from mortals, but if her secret were revealed, the fey would steal her eyes, her life, or her freedom. So, Tam doesn't respond when they trail thorn-crusted fingertips through her hair at the French Market or when the Dark King sings along with her in the bayou. But when the Dark King, Irial, rescues her, Tam must confront everything she thought she knew about faeries, men, and love.

When Runnel leaves his mountain valley to head for the great city of the water mages, he has no idea of his own magical talents. But he soon finds that without meaning to, he complicates and then endangers the lives of everyone he comes to know and care about. For when it comes to magic, there are rules and laws, and the untrained mage-to-be must be careful not to tap into deep forces and ancient enmities. Otherwise, other people might end up paying the price for his mistakes.

Now, the third Moontide is almost here, and this time the people of the East are ready for a fight... but it is three seemingly ordinary people that will decide the fate of the world.

Historia
A Wayside Tavern tells the story of a Suffolk drinking place from the end of the Roman occupation of Britain, until the present day. The Roman veteran, crippled and left behind, worshipped Mithras, so the place became known as the One Bull and down through the centuries it became a clearing house for contraband, a miniature Hell Fire Club, a fashionable hotel, a mere pub. Across the yard, was the church of St Cerdic, king and martyr, who fought the Danes and was famous for the miracles performed at his shrine.

This is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly unhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted - and still wants - to destroy her and those she cares for and how she can save herself.

God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

Historia
Anwuli Okwudili prefers to be called AO. To her, these initials have always stood for Artificial Organism. AO has never really felt...natural, and that's putting it lightly. Her parents spent most of the days before she was born praying for her peaceful passing because even in-utero she was "wrong". But she lived. Then came the car accident years later that disabled her even further. Yet instead of viewing her strange body the way the world views it, as freakish, unnatural, even the work of the devil, AO embraces all that she is.

In 1804, shortly before the Caribbean island of Saint Domingue is renamed Haiti, a group of women gather to bury a stillborn baby. Led by a lesbian healer and midwife named Mer, the women's lamentations inadvertently release the dead infant's "unused vitality" to draw Ezili - the Afro-Caribbean goddess of sexual desire and love - into the physical world. As Ezili explores her newfound powers, she travels across time and space to inhabit the midwife's body - as well as those of Jeanne, a mixed-race dancer and the mistress of Charles Baudelaire living in 1880s Paris, and Meritet.

But Tembreabrezi has a secret, a dark fear that is threatening the very life-blood of the kingdom. Hugh and Irena were led there for a purpose, selected for an impossibly hopeless mission. If they accept the challenge, they may lose everything - their new-found paradise, and possibly their lives.

Standing Ovation
Octavia E. Butler is one of the most imaginative and gifted writers ever. Her use of social commentary, fiction, history, and mystery takes us into the air and deep into the sea within these chapters. A love story like no other, I'm humbled by the and care taken with every description. Robin Miles did an incredible job bring these characters to life with voice and inflection. This a world I am glad I entered and didn't once desire to leave.

This is an S-tier audiobook. Listen to it.
I have like 50 titles in my library. Unfortunately, I usually don’t finish most of the books I pick because the story drags or the narrator doesn’t narrate well. I’d listened to the audio book of Parable of the Sower by Butler and completely fallen in love with it, so I figured I’d give this one a shot. I’m happy to announce that this book is EVEN BETTER.
The plot? Fucking incredible. The characters? Unique, mesmerizing, and their relationships with each other are FASCINATING. And the narrator? I think the reason I’m rating this as high as I am is because her voice is unbelievably magnetic. From start to finish, this book is a masterpiece.
Will I be listening to this again? You’re damn right I will be. And you should too.

Excellent writing. Excellent narration
I’ve never heard anyone one floor so easily between different bounces while not dramatizing them. I really enjoyed robin miles performance. The story is truly intriguing between the characters and their powers. Sandra it sci fi fans alike should like this. I would recommend this for young teens since it deals with the subjects of rape and killing frequently. Although it feels to be a well thought out telling of how ones life might shape out when living with those threats.
Strong female lead. Not a comedy not a total tragedy.

Wild Seed
This is not my usual style of novel but I got caught up in the story. How many of us wish we could live forever with out thinking through the details? Are these two primal gods? Are they just the last vestiges of ancient beings? Why do some survive the transformation and others do not? I also like the adult take on the romance angle. Hate him a decade, love him the next decade, forget him a decade. Guess I will explore book two in hopes of finding some answers. Robin Miles’s fine narration pleases my ear pronouncing the lovely African names and words.

Wonderful tale fantastically read
A great story told very well. At times I was confused and frustrated by Anyanwu’s behavior towards Doro, but how could I hope to understand a character as deep and complex as she. It left me craving more of the story.
Robin Miles did an incredible job of bringing each character to life. She gives them each a unique voice, and at times I forgot it was just one person narrating. One of the best narrators I’ve heard.
