Survival of the Fittest

Kyle is directionless, languishing in a local community college trying to figure out what to do with his life. All around him, the world is getting stranger. A virus has rendered most of the male population in the world infertile. The fabric of society is stretching thin. People are scared of what might come next. Then, in a lightning strike of unexpected fortune, Kyle finds out he is one of the few.

Kyle has evolved from the person he once was, but his purpose remains the same: to find himself in a world that seems ready to chew him up and spit him out. There are people who are intent on killing him - not only for what he knows, but for what he is. Even worse, the people who have tried to help Kyle, and who he has come to care about deeply, are equally in danger. He will never let them get hurt. Which means, he has to do something.

The news was enough to blow Kyle’s mind. He had believed that nothing could cause a bigger stir than his revelation over network television that the Soldiers of Dawn, a group of eugenicists operating in secret, had not only infiltrated the government but also released Persterim, the disease crippling the fertility of the male portion of society. That was until an announcement came from the highest levels of government declaring that the corruption didn’t stop inside the lower ranks of various agencies. It went all the way to the top.

Eager to use their freedom to best advantage, Kyle led his supporters on a search for everything they would need to survive in their new world. Medical support to ensure their children would be cared for. A place to call home. And perhaps most important of all, the equipment they would need to set up a lab so the scientists traveling with them could take a stab at finding a Persterim cure. The odds were long, but Kyle wasn’t going to give up on the hope that the chaos in the world might be reversed if only someone was willing to stand up and fight those who were trying to destroy it.

For the first time, Kyle and his family have the chance to take advantage of a weakness in the Dawn organization. But to seize that chance they will need support. As successful as they’ve been in staying alive, they are not capable of planning a large-scale attack against a hardened target.
