What would happen if, all of a sudden, a few men stopped making testosterone? Did a virus cause the syndrome? Would it spread? What would men do? Would the young virologist who found the first answers be overwhelmed? In this realistic portrayal of scientists under pressure, the story follows a young scientist as she attacks the problem. The noted University of Chicago microbiologist, Professor Howard Shuman, wrote, “There is no reason that such a virus could not appear. I loved this story and the people in it, even the nasty ones, and I didn’t predict the end.” You don’t have to be a scientist to enjoy this story – it has been read by novelists, a former lieutenant in the NYPD, professional women and men and lots of other people.
This is the my first novel, and while it touches on many areas of science and sexuality, it is also my homage to all of the PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty members with whom I have worked for forty years. Forty years ago, a young woman scientist like the hero of this novel would have been rare. Now things are better. As this story will show, that is a very good thing.
The Famine of Men is available in text and ebook form through AuthorHouse and the author’s website. It can also be ordered on Amazon or most other online sites.
