Summary:

Returning to print after nearly 50 years, Survivor completes Octavia E. Butler's thrilling Patternist series. It tells the story of Alanna, a colonist fleeing a plague-scarred Earth. But the planet she lands on is inhabited by the alien Kohn, whose battling tribes soon trap Alanna in their war. She must make alliances-while plotting betrayals. She must protect her heart-while putting it at risk. And she must decide if the best way to retain her humanity is to leave it behind. -- Provided by publisher.
