In the summer of 2002, a plague of unknown origin destroyed every last sperm, fetus, and fully developed mammal with a Y chromosome-with the apparent exception of one young man and his male pet. This "gendercide" instantaneously exterminated 48% of the global population, or approximately 2.9 billion men. Now, aided by the mysterious Agent 355, the last human male Yorick Brown must contend with dangerous extremists, a hoped-for reunion with a girlfriend...

Yorick Brown and his pet monkey have at last reached Dr. Allison Mann's laboratory in San Francisco. Now she can begin to unravel the secret of their survival after the plague of 2002 killed everything on the planet with a Y chromosome.
