Long awaited, Parable of the Talents is the continuation of the travails of Lauren Olamina, the heroine of 1994's Nebula-Prize finalist, bestselling Parable of the Sower. Parable of the Talents is told in the voice of Lauren Olamina's daughter—from whom she has been separated for most of the girl's life—with sections in the form of Lauren's journal. Against a background of a war-torn continent, and with a far-right religious crusader in the office of the U.S. presidency, this is a book about a society whose very fabric has been torn asunder, and where the basic physical and emotional needs of people seem almost impossible to meet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction by the multi-talented Toshi Reagon!!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBooks in The Parable Series: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sistahscifi.com\/products\/parable-of-the-sower-hardcover\" title=\"Parable of the Sower: Book 1 The Parable Series\"\u003eParable of the Sower: Book 1 The Parable Series\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sistahscifi.com\/products\/parable-of-the-talents-hardcover-1\" title=\"Parable of the Talents: Book 2 Parable Series \"\u003eParable of the Talents: Book 2 Parable Series\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sistahscifi.com\/products\/parable-of-the-sower-hardcover?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=d20751217\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0117\/0387\/7732\/products\/22_991268a0-785e-42e6-bc3d-07121cbeffb5_240x240.png?v=1613448800\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sistahscifi.com\/products\/parable-of-the-talents-hardcover-1?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=20dc624fc\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0117\/0387\/7732\/products\/24_4aa17d7b-81fc-4634-9798-357946fd12ac_240x240.png?v=1613448949\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0117\/0387\/7732\/products\/24_4aa17d7b-81fc-4634-9798-357946fd12ac_240x240.png?v=1613448949\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out other titles and merchandise we offer related to Octavia E.

These are stories of the leaders and the followers, the victims, heroes, and the everyday people caught in history’s wake, chief among them Dr. Ezekiel Carter, a genius in his field who decides to offer genetic reparations to those being left behind.

The country is not so fortunate. Corporations, in the hunt for his elusive genes, have ripped apart communities and twisted laws to try to cash in on his slow aging, and its promise for immortality. Their minions in the government have erased the past to control the future. To preserve his anonymity and, with it, a chance at equality for millions, he’s witnessed the deterioration of personal freedoms, ethical boundaries and basic infrastructure. But some acts he can’t just sit by and watch. In his quest to save people from being hunted down, William happens upon the survivors who will shape his destiny and the world’s fate. Now that those in power have sidelined all progress they can’t profit from, it's up to William, Lillian and us others to wrestle back evolution, lest it become one more product to manufacture cheaply, poorly and for one faction's gain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911950811249,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0117\/0387\/7732\/products\/37.png?v=1613449748"},{"product_id":"a-song-below-water-book-by-bethany-c-morrow","title":"A Song Below Water (Hardcover) by Bethany C.
