DOMINION: Ascension

In DOMINION: Ascension, D. A. Murray brings to life a dystopian near-future in which men form an underclass and women rule the world. Weaving together elements including a totalitarian state and a forbidden love story, and benefiting from an impressive imaginative arc, Murray takes his cues from Atwood’s The Handmaid's Tale in this interesting evocation of a post-apocalyptic society organized along strict gender boundaries.
