The entire room fell to a breathless hush as the band stopped playing its music. All eyes turned to the grand doorway. In true Hollywood fashion Jezebel Dezire paused a dramatic moment. Then she appeared in the doorway in a sheer gown with false fig leaves pasted on in the strategic places, surrounded by her beefy male bodyguards. It was no wonder everyone talked about her. Everyone wanted to look at her. Everyone wanted to have her. Everyone wanted to be her. WHO IS JEZEBEL DESIRE? Everyone wants to know. How old is she? Where is she? Why does the leader of Russia want to meet with her? Starting with a sweeping prologue tracing the rise and fall of Empires, Jezebel Dezire traces the evolution of political systems, and the interplay of religion, science, and ideology in humyn history. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, it highlights how diseases (one in particular) may have influenced famous world leaders - and history, and how technological advancements, such as the atomic bomb, altered warfare and society. This Prologue sets the stage for a story set in a dystopian near future marked by political upheaval, terrorism, economic displacement, and a complete collapse of social traditions. In this future, we follow President Happy Henderson, clueless and controlled as he attempts to arrange a summit with Russian Premier Alexi Butkisky while avoiding impeachment, which he hopes will secure his re-election.
We meet Sarah MacGuire, a young school teacher confronting bureaucratic pressures, political correctness, and surveillance technologies as she tries to do her job. We watch as Herbert Creech, a gifted youth alienated and marginalized by ethnic quotas and social engineering, escapes the trap of his isolation in a world of social media video fantasies to undertake a dangerous journey across an increasingly lawless landscape. Johnny Glory, who is struggling to keep his ministry alive amidst the increasing pressures of new civil rights legislation and tax laws that threaten its financial base. Then there are Manuel Castrejon, a heroic soldier who's not allowed to shoot at the enemy and Thomas (TJ) Jefferson, a Washington, DC police officer who spends his day doing DNA testing on trash to catch litterers. And there's Hamir Al Jihad, head of an international terrorist cartel who wants to blow them all up with a nuclear bomb hidden in a child's lunchbox. What on earth could bring such a diverse group of people to the Pale House for an international summit? Jezebel Dezire. Jezebel Dezire describes a richly detailed dystopian and satirical vision of Earth's near future through commentary on the socio-political, cultural, and technological transformations shaping humyn (human) civilization, particularly within the American Empire. Through interwoven personal stories and broad societal developments, it explores themes of power, identity, morality, and survival amid escalating terrorism, political intrigue, and emerging global crises.
