About “Adulthood Rites”
This 1988 novel is the second book in the Lilith's Brood trilogy, set years after the arrival of Oankali aliens in the first book. The Oankali have established colonies on Earth where they live and breed with humans, while human resisters refuse to interact with the Oankali but are frustrated that they can no longer reproduce on their own. Akin, a boy 'construct' with mixed human and Oankali DNA, confronts the tensions between the two species and grapples with his own identity.
