Essential Commodity

Following the Chinese-American war, society has plunged into the verge of anarchy as supply chains have been disrupted and major droughts and famines have swept the globe. In the seat of Old Mexico, the High Command attempts to fill this powerless vacuum when a new threat materializes. Scientists from across the world race to find a vaccine for the new disease; but before long, the virus has shrunk the existing male population, and the entire patriarchy is threatened. Will women emerge as the new leaders in international affairs? Or will the remnants of society band together to confront the new threat? Come along for the ride as the power of science and technology are confronted in new and devastating ways. In a world of survivors, no one knows exactly where they are heading or why.

Essential Commodity is a fast-paced and gripping novel set in the not-too-distant future by Ontario-based author Walson Iwalesin.
