Joe Hart is the author of several horror and thriller novels, including The River Is Dark, Lineage, and Widow Town. His latest is the opening novel in a new post-apocalyptic series in which a mysterious worldwide epidemic dramatically reduces the number of females born, from 50% of births to less than 1 percent. Twenty-five years after the first infection, there’s still no cure, and there are fewer than a thousand woman on the face of the Earth.

The Last Girl tells the tale of Zoey, and a few other surviving women, kept in a research compound desperately searching for the cause of the epidemic. It’s not a life Zoey wants… and when she makes a bid for freedom, she takes the future of mankind into her hands.
