Octavia E. Butler's Patternist series, also known as Seed to Harvest, is a collection of science fiction novels that chronicles an alternate human history stretching from ancient Africa to a post-apocalyptic future. The central conflict revolves around an immortal, body-snatching entity named Doro and his centuries-long quest to breed a master race of telepaths. This endeavor eventually divides humanity into three groups: the telepathic Patternists, the enslaved "mutes" (ordinary humans), and the mutated, animalistic Clayarks.
The series is noted for its powerful explorations of themes related to power, identity, race, gender, and the ethical implications of genetic manipulation.
The Patternist books in chronological order
While the books were published out of order, reading them chronologically provides the full, sweeping story of the Patternists' creation and eventual dominance.
Wild Seed (1980)
The series' beginning, set in 17th-century Africa, introduces the immortal, body-snatching Doro and the powerful, shape-shifting healer Anyanwu. Doro takes Anyanwu with him to America, where he forces her to become the mother of his psychic "family." The novel explores their deeply complex, abusive, and interdependent relationship as Doro works to refine the psychic human race.
"Wild Seed," a novel by Octavia E. Butler, explores the intricate relationship between two immortal beings: Doro, a powerful entity capable of transferring his essence into other bodies, and Anyanwu, an Onitsha-Ibo woman with extraordinary healing abilities and shape-shifting powers.

Good looks but cheap fabric
Size: Large, Color: Light Blue
The sizing is about right, but the fabric is really cheap, flimsy and rough. Disappointed and this is going back

Nice!
Size: Medium, Color: Bright Blue
My husband loves these. He’s got black, navy, bright blue, burgundy, grey…. and I’m sure I may be missing some! They hold up nicely after repeated washings in cold water in the machine and I always hang to dry. For golf they are fabulous because they are non constricting and comfortable while playing in the hot Florida sun which he does on a daily basis. They run very true to size….he takes his usual medium and they fit perfectly. Highly recommend!

nice fit
I am thoroughly impressed with this Amazon Essentials white shirt. For the price, the quality is outstanding. The fabric feels soft, breathable, and has a good weight to it

Nice shirt, great price.
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: Medium
Worn it twice and I find it very comfortable. I wear it outside and casually to protect my arms and neck from the sun and find it more comfortable than a long sleeve t-shirt. The price is comparable. If I was to wear it to the office it would have to be ironed. I bought one shirt to try it and I will be buying more.

Nice shirt!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: X-Large
I added one of these shirts to another order just to see if they were any good. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It fits perfectly and looks pretty nice for a low cost casual dress shirt. Materials seem decent quality. Comfortable, soft fabric. Didn’t shrink too much in the washer and dryer. We’ll see how it holds up long term but so far so good
