    Abstract

    Nous sommes en 127, Temps d'après les Oléoducs. Quatre-vingts ans plus tôt, les Muantes, une race de femmes clonées se reproduisant par parthénogenèse, se sont échappées de l'usine où leurs créateurs les maintenaient en esclavage. Elles ont trouvé la paix loin de la décrépitude de Saltwater City, aujourd'hui ravagée par une épidémie de grippe du tigre ayant tué presque tous les hommes.
