The Deerwhere Codex
Deerwhere was the culmination of humanity’s search for Utopia. After centuries of wars, overpopulation, political disruption, and global pandemics, there followed a New Confederation of Peace: of work, of service to others, and of recreation. Together in Deerwhere, survivors were male, female, and uniale. The colony quarantine kept the three sexes safe from illnesses of the world beyond.
With epigenetics, the uniales embody superior qualities of both sexes and all the races. They bring new pronouns to language. The Confederation Bureau of Standards sets “’Nhe” for he and she, “Nes”’ to go with his and her, and “Nem” will be used with him and her. “They” and “Them” can stand as plurals.
Immune to the Pandemic Diseases by design, the uniale genetic sequence was unique. A concept of ancient mythology and fantasy became the solution to chaos and plagues on earth, the uniale. The Deerwhere Codex contains the genetic sexual spectrum coaxed to satisfy the priorities of the 24th Century. THE AWAKENING details the lives and loves of the Confederation, and the presence of a quantum computer with control of a perfect society. Uniales test their own loyalty to the culture that is Deerwhere—a culture they must define for themselves. ADRION’S PASSAGE follows the truly human uniales in a struggle for survival in a world become strange. EVER AEQUUM is a collection of tales added to the CODEX including short stories by J.L. Snyder and a Novella.
