Xen -- a satire about the new world order
by D. J. Solomon
The end of hate & prejudice...begins with you!
In this Apocalyptic tale, a misanthropic geneticist
designs a world without evil, ending the battle of the
sexes, and unwittingly triggers another doomsday
countdown. Neither conspiracy theorists nor the
plutocrats get it right in this political satire of the new
world order.
