Written by: Mario Escobar
Publisher's Summary
Philip K. Dick Award Winner for Distinguished Science Fiction
When she fell asleep, the world was doomed. When she awoke, it was dead.
In the wake of a fever that decimated the earth's population - killing women and children and making childbirth deadly for the mother and infant - the midwife must pick her way through the bones of the world she once knew to find her place in this dangerous new one. Gone are the pillars of civilization. All that remains is power - and the strong who possess it.
A few women like her survived, though they are scarce. Even fewer are safe from the clans of men, who, driven by fear, seek to control those remaining. To preserve her freedom, she dons men's clothing, goes by false names, and avoids as many people as possible. But as the world continues to grapple with its terrible circumstances, she'll discover a role greater than chasing a pale imitation of independence.
After all, if humanity is to be reborn, someone must be its guide.

Why haven’t I heard about this book?
This was amazing. I’m a fan of post-apocalyptic stories and finding good ones isn’t easy. I stumbled across this one through an Audible sale and I’m so happy I bought it. The writing is dark because of the obvious subject matter but also painfully human. The queer rep was very well done and refreshing in a sub genre that’s normally 100% hetero. Loved this and am delighted to see that it’s part of a series.

"equals"
A good story set in the future. Easy listening. The authors annoying habit of comparing things with the word "equals" was definitely irritating towards the end of the book.

Highly recommended
If you enjoy apocalyptic stories, this book is highly recommended. The reader is extremely talented in using her voice to identify specific characters. Extremely well done in the crafting of the tale as well as the presentation. 5 stars for sure!

Excellent book and Narration
I don’t usually chose books that are on the future but I was quickly hooked by this story. I was in for the full ‘read’. I don’t agree with the overuse of a literary technique that I thought worked really well. Interesting that this book was written pre covid. Sure makes you think!

Minus 2 stars EQUALS…
Enough with the @$&# equals!!!
Warning, I’m still on chapter one and I’m sure this term has been used at least 40,000 times.
Seems to be a good story, but using the word equals in every other sentence is driving me nuts. Seriously. Both author and editor are equally inept.
