More DescriptionIn a future where the earth is uninhabitable and what's left of mankind lives within four domed cities to survive, a dire prognosis faces the population of every one: it seems the rate of female births has declined dramatically and if the pattern is not changed, their society will not survive. When all of the women are sent to a hidden medical dome for study, the last woman sent uncovers a conspiracy that could threaten to tear their world apart. A frenetic, pulse-pounding adventure, Shaun Penney's atmospheric debut novel delivers a spellbinding mythology along with first-rate thrills and almost unbearable tension. In the future, a devastating war has left the world toxic and unlivable. Mankind survives isolated within four domed cities. In every dome survival has come with a price: the rate of female births seems to be in steady decline and the ultimate survival of our species is at serious risk. A frantic race to understand and fix the problem has led a hardened military leader named General Kuromori to transport the few hundred women left living in the dome to a hidden medical dome for study and research.Carol Jenn is the last woman to be sent to the medical dome. But Carol does not have full knowledge of the situation. When she meets Vanguard, one of Kuromori's soldiers who has been banished for murdering a woman named Eve, the walls surrounding Carol's perceptions begin to crumble around her. Joining Jessie, her only true ally, in an uneasy alliance with Vanguard, she uncovers a conspiracy involving Kuromori, his workforce, and even the women inside the dome. But when Carol and Jessie try to escape the dome, they discover the dark secrets behind The Death of Eve.An extraordinary vision of a post-apocalyptic future that is rich in detail and rippling with intrigue, The Death of Eve is a fascinating exploration of the nature of man.
