Lilith's Brood was fun. A story about the human race being saved from itself by an alien species. This species revered life unlike the humans. The Oankali as they were called were nothing like the humans, and with that in mind they thought leaving them be would be a bad idea and that they would attempt to end themselves through fighting and war. So they stayed and lived and worked together. This is all told through Lilith Iyapo, a woman who tries to help the other humans escape. The Oakali, stay for another reason as well, because they genetically manipulate themselves to to maximum efficiency. Though this leads them to a dead-end of the evolutionary scale. So they in turn want to breed with the humans in order to keep existing. I only read the first of the series, "Dawn", but from what I gathered it was not a classic tale of alien invasion. There was mutual means, but things go wrong as always.
Really fun read overall.
