A haunting novel about a future where women are disappearing from the Earth—and where the human soul is on the verge of disappearing from humankind.
D.V. Bernard presents a gripping and powerful novel in which readers are introduced to a diverse cast of characters living in a futuristic New York City—all of whom are struggling desperately to retain their humanity and save their threatened world.
In Bernard’s future, readers learn that men have lost their ability to have daughters, throwing the human race into chaos. As society reels from the realization that the end of the world is at hand, a ten-year-old black girl is seen as a Messiah. As women start fading from the Earth, a determined and diverse set of characters emerges, bent on protecting the Messiah and fighting for the future of the human race. There is the Jewish doctor whose inventions caused the disaster to begin with; the Chinese-American protagonist whose soul has become scrambled with that of another man; the African-American industrial magnate whose telecommunications can beam information into men’s minds; and the Latino revolutionary dedicated to defending his city against chaos and corruption. Also, a strange military superpower is systematically destroying towns and cities in a quest to collect the last of the women on Earth. All these characters must come together before the superpower destroys the planet and their chances of again becoming human beings.
Packed with nail-biting action and unforgettable characters, God in the Image of Woman is a poignant science fiction treat—a chilling and enlightening rendering of a final struggle for the hearts and minds of the human race.
D.V. Bernard emigrated from the Caribbean to New York City when he was nine years old. After earning a BA in sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, he attended graduate school at the University of Arizona, leaving early to concentrate on his writing. Bernard lives in New York City.
