It's 2015 and the human beings who've survived the disastrous climatic changes of recent years face utter destruction in My Mistress, Humanity, by Chuck Rosenthal (Elena of the Stars, etc.). In a plot that parallels that of Frankenstein and provides much philosophical food for thought, the Faustian hero must track down a terrible monster, a dragon, if there's to be any hope for humanity.
