THE YAHWEH GENE is the first book in a series about the world as it will be in the not-so-distant future. After the planet has been ravaged by catastrophe, global societies have all suffered equally severely. All efforts are focused on water preservation, agriculture, medical care and other basic necessities of life.
Nineteen-year-old Emmanuel "Manny" Kohen is caught in this whirlwind of distress and limitation. After the events of Star Fall, which occurred 13 years prior to the start of this story, the vast majority of the still alive "Remnants" have either gravitated toward some form of spirituality, or far, far away from it; Manny is a part of the latter group. He doesn't see how, understand why, or believe that an all-knowing and all-loving Creator would allow such devastation and turmoil.
However, some significant, undeniable and personal events lead him to the thresholds of his belief, his sanity...and even his life.

L.O.V.E.
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)Complete
