The Other Face of God

Humanity is on the brink of extinction, afflicted by an irreversible form of sterility.
"When was the last time we walked alongside the gods?" As the slow and inexorable disintegration of human societies continues, science gropes in the dark for a solution that never arrives. In light of new discoveries, as the main foundations crumble away, monotheistic faiths undergo a drastic downsizing. Religious authorities attempt to blame the collapse of humankind on the newly sentient species that has recently appeared on the planet, but unpredictable chains of events occur, drastically reducing humanity's already slim chances of survival. It is in this context that Amber, now elderly and inwardly desiring to disappear completely, seeks an explanation for the embarrassing coincidences that have implicated her for over fifty years. Is the fate of the maxima predator on Earth coming to an end?
