The Second Big Bang is a science fiction fantasy novella – with a racy sense of humor!
In the near future, America is an authoritarian state and World War III looks like it will never end.
A fed-up General’s wife convinces women around the world to withhold sex until their nations agree to stop fighting, and it works.
When all the lovers of the world reunite, their simultaneous ecstasy creates the biggest event on Planet Earth since the First Big Bang… a second “Big Bang” that causes most of humanity to evolve overnight.
The leader of the peace movement is elected the first woman President of the United States, but the power goes to her head and she under-estimates the threat of the former President and his un-evolved rebels – who will do anything to put women back in their place.
