Her life revolves around drinking Chateau Vieux wine, driving her Z-Ray hybrid, picking up men at the beach.Trisha has two big problems. Her boss, Clara Kreisler, pushes her to come up with a bestseller or Trisha loses her job. Trisha meets Daiva Izokaitis, a geneticist turned novelist, who has written a blockbuster called \u003cem\u003eCitadel\u003c\/em\u003e. After successfully pitching \u003cem\u003eCitadel \u003c\/em\u003eto Clara, \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eTrisha retreats to the Desert Rose Motel for the time and peace she needs to edit the novel. As she works, Trisha sees that in \u003cem\u003eCitadel, \u003c\/em\u003ewomen have not only withdrawn from the male culture of rape and violence, and are on a divergent evolutionary path, but have mastered reproduction without DNA from the Y chromosome as they create a safe, new world behind the high walls. At stake is the future of women. The questions are--what is a human? What is desire? What is love? What if a woman says No? Is it too late to stop the slaughter?Trisha reaches the conclusion that she, like the characters in \u003cem\u003eCitadel\u003c\/em\u003e, doesn't need men to find fulfillment. After a violent incident at the launch of \u003cem\u003eCitadel, \u003c\/em\u003efiction becomes reality when\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eTrisha and Daiva, instead of running from the men who want to destroy them, fight back by founding Citadel One, the first real-time citadel.
