Thy Name Is WOMAN - By Kenneth O'Hara - Illustrated by Zimmerman
The Earth has been emptied of women, who have left to build a world of their own, leaving humanity on the brink of extinction. Eddie Bowren, the first man to attempt a voyage beyond the ruined planet, slips into a hidden compartment of a cargo ship bound for Mars. Inside a sealed steel cubicle he endures a painful, experimental conversion meant to let a male survive the extreme accelerations that only women and some animals can endure.
The story unfolds in tight, claustrophobic moments as Bowren battles the physical torment and the moral questions of a society that bans men from space. Listeners are drawn into a speculative future where gender, biology, and technology collide, and the journey to the red planet becomes a battle for identity before any resolution is reached.
