It is now 15 years since the accidental discovery of a parthenogenic drug that allows any fertile woman to conceive and give natural birth to a female child without any male intervention. The drug, Venex, has caused severe global turbulence socially, politically, and religiously. A deadly war is waging between those who believe that the use of Venex is a matter of a woman's choice. Those opposing its existence warn that it heralds the extinction of the human male and thereby the human race... and that it must be banned and eliminated...at all costs. The anti-Venex M.A.N. (Men Are Necessary) forces will stop at nothing, including assassination and mass murder, to destroy what they consider a cataclysmic threat. The pro-Venex forces, led by PR powerhouse Gail Katz, risk their lives and the lives of their families and associates to preserve it as a viable woman's option. It is a high-stakes war of global no-holds-barred danger and intrigue. The outcome could determine the future of the human race.
