A pandemic novel set in the near future, with part located in the Independent Republic of Scotland, about the impact of a disease that, while carried by both men and women, only kills men, except for the few who are immune. The novel, which is told in multiple voices, depicts the trauma, the desperate search for a vaccine, and the growth of a successful world run by women. The focus is on the West, but one thread concerns China, which breaks apart immediately followed by a civil war that is resolved by the end of the novel. Other parts of the world are briefly mentioned, with all contact lost with much of the Middle East.
