The Perfection of Fish (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684335060)

2020 Maxy Awards Finalist - SciFi/Fantasy

The contest between men and women escalates to a new battlefield -- genetics. Legislators mandate a testosterone- lowering food supplement to reduce violence and make gun control unnecessary. The blowback assumes epic proportions. Nadia Holkam -- a pawn in the battle -- desperately seeks her true identity.

Diana Holkam discovers companies are using her twin sister as a template for the perfect subordinate female in an experiment aimed at turning all women into pets. With help from a one-eyed Muslim Bible salesman, an African American woman promoting a testosterone-reducing food supplement, and an Indian geneticist fleeing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, they fight against a misogynistic CEO, a would-be prophet of male supremacy, and the mob. Neither side realizes the AI system developing the genetic "cure" has a different plan for human evolution -- a plan that has something to do with fish.
