Patternmaster by Octavia E. Butler
4.0

This was my favorite in the loosely tied series that includes Wild Seed, Mind of My Mind, Clay's Ark and Patternmaster. What made me love it more than the others was the truly likable character acting out of human weakness, but made a better stronger and ultimately triumphant person by love. It's corny, but deeply satisfying as well. This type of thing is food for the soul. Butler manages to nourish that part of us while still being dynamic and thoughtful.
