From “one of science fiction’s finest writers”: A young woman with tremendous psychic power battles to set a new course for mankind (The New York Times).
The baby’s name is Mary, and her father is immortal. For thousands of years he has orchestrated a selective breeding project, attempting to create a master race capable of controlling others through thought. Most of his attempts have resulted in volatile mutations, but Mary—whom he has raised in the rough part of a Southern California town—is the closest he has come to perfection. If he doesn’t handle her carefully, this greatest experiment will be his last. As Mary comes of age, she begins to grow aware of her psychic powers. And when she learns of her father’s plans for her, she refuses to acquiesce. She challenges him to a psychic war, battling to free her people and set a new course for mankind.
Multiple Nebula and Hugo award–winning author Octavia Butler’s epic and thought-provoking Patternist series has fascinated generations of readers, exploring the effects of power and what it means to be human. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Octavia E. Butler including rare images from the author’s estate.

Impressions

    👍Worth reading
    🚀Unputdownable
    💧Soppy

    No puedo elegir uno solo de los personajes como mi favorito pues cada uno de los miembros de la "primera familia" tiene una evolución que, si no simpatizábamos con ellos en un principio, sí nos permite conocerlos y entenderlos.

    En cuanto al final... no quiero decir exactamente qué sucede pero sí señalar que cumplió con todas mis expectativas y más. Aunque lo que sucede con Emma es el único "pero" que le pongo pues quisiera saber más al respecto.

    Obviamente seguiré leyendo esta serie, para ver qué sorpresas nos depara Mary y los telépatas.

Quotes

    “Psychokinesis,” said Doro. “I’ve seen it before. Seen it several times in your father’s family, in fact, although I’ve never seen it come about this smoothly before.”
  • Isabel Jazmín Angeleshas quoted4 years ago
    I’ve finally written the trilogy of novels that I was planning when we lived together last. History. My story. The critics marveled at my realism. My work is powerful, compelling. I’m a born storyteller.”

    “I think you underestimate young girls,” said Emma
