Synopsis
The final novel of the Xenogenesis Series , Imago , is from the point of view of one of Lilith’s children who exemplifies the potential good that could come from cross-breeding. As young Jodahs transitions to adulthood, he doesn’t become a hybrid as expected, but an ooloi - a sexless subspecies that can manipulate DNA. The first ooloi born to a human mother, Jodahs’ power may make him a savior or lead to the destruction of all that has been saved.
