Twenty years in the future and four years after a mysterious infection sweeps across the human population, ninety-five percent of people are turned into night-dwelling creatures known as Nightingales, blinded temporarily by light and capable of breeding like rodents. They hunger for meat, but eat plants alike to ensure they never simply die out, remaining a threat constantly.
This novel attempts to examine multiple perspectives of what it would be like to live in such an environment, rather than simply providing a horror driven story. Perspectives include five hundred survivors living just north of Seattle Washington in a future prison, a pair of sisters living isolated in former New York, a British Sniper stranded in the Middle East and a freedom fighter against a new dictatorship established in former Ireland and United Kingdom: The Emerald Empire.

Matriarchy: No Need For Men.
Chapter 2: World War III (Running!!) Men are gone. Women rule. Imagine a world where men no longer matter-would you survive the matriarchy? What happens when feminism goes too far? This book explores the consequences of a future where the natural balance between men and women collapses. Feminism, having transcended all boundaries, reshapes humanity into a female-centered species. Men, stripped of purpose, exist as relics of the past, serving only as pets in a system that mirrors a hive, where women reign supreme. Biologically, mothers are the gatekeepers of life. Historically, survival forced men and women into partnership-men as protectors and providers, sometimes oppressors, while women adapted to survive under natural pressures. But when humanity masters nature, this necessity vanishes. With no war, famine, or struggle, cooperation dissolves. Robots and AI take over all labor, while science frees women from biological dependence on men, allowing reproduction through stem-cell technology. Men are no longer needed for survival, yet they are not entirely discarded, kept instead as sentimental pets. This is the final form of feminism: a system that abandons equality under the guise of progress, reducing men to a perpetual loop of servitude. Matriarchy: No Need for Men critiques a future where dominance replaces balance, and ideology supersedes the natural truths of human existence. It is a stark warning, not only for men but for all who value the delicate equilibrium that defines humanity.
