To what lengths must one go to survive in a subterranean bunker as the apocalypse rages outside? For months, Peter Marikos' elegantly constructed bunker acted as a haven for his small group of survivors, but living behind the sealed doors for so long can drive anyone mad.

Resigned to a bleak existence of subjugation, Stewart Pope is like any man in the authoritarian feminist nation of Helenia. With their bodies altered, minds modified, and behaviors shunned, it's no wonder depression runs rampant through the ranks of men. Yet, in spite of these social atrocities, there burns a fire within Stewart that's unable to be extinguished. Resistance is in the air. A dark work of speculative dystopian fiction, The New Rule offers a glimpse into a dismal world where what you are matters more than who you are.
