About the book
About The Y-Plague
A sudden mutation. A global catastrophe. A world where being male is a death sentence. Dr. Anya Peters thought she understood genetics, but she never saw this coming. A mysterious pathogen has emerged with a terrifying specialty: it only targets the Y-chromosome. Within weeks, the global male population begins to vanish, leaving a world in chaos and a society on the brink of total collapse. As a medical professional on the front lines, Dr. Anya Peters must race against time to decode the "Y-Plague" before the last of the world's sons, fathers, and brothers are gone forever. But in a world turned upside down, the science is only half the battle. Surviving the breakdown of civilization might be the harder test. The Y-Plague is a gripping, hard science fiction thriller that explores a chillingly plausible "what if" scenario. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain and the high-stakes survival of Children of Men. Can one woman find the cure before the Y-chromosome becomes a memory?
