This is the last book in the Patternist series, and the first written. It ties together all the concepts from the first three novels, or rather, all the concepts of this book were fully explained in the first three. It speaks to Butler's greatness that she had this universe so carefully built that she was able to create three prequels of extraordinary depth and detail. However, this was Butler's first novel, besides being the first in the series, and is the weakest. It lacks the qualities that made the other three, particularly Wild Seed, far superior.
