Xen: Ancient English Edition, Complete & Unexpurgated, by D. J.
Solomon was our first project.  

What if, in the near future, an everyday misanthrope engineers the
Apocalypse, creating an intelligently designed new world order?  Evil
is cast out, half the population vanishes overnight--the battle of the
sexes is over--but another doomsday countdown is triggered.  Now
only one daily ritual may restore tranquility for the chosen.
