Progeny (Coming January 2026)
“In a near-future dystopia, social equity is enforced from birth: every newborn is taken from their biological parents and reassigned to a randomly selected family by the authoritarian Progeny Agency. Brooke Yeled, a loyal agent of the system - and newly pregnant herself - has always believed in the mission. But when a protest goes terribly wrong, she uncovers a trail of lies, conspiracies, and mass disappearances buried deep within the agency she serves.
Twists abound in a world where even motherhood is state property.
​
Equity has no limits. But neither does a mother’s will to protect her child.”
“A powerful, thought-provoking story that pulled me in from the start...with twists and turns like a roller coaster, an absolute must-read. “

"From Edgar Allan Poe to Robin Cook. From Twilight Zone to Black Mirror. If you crave the sculpting of strange new worlds as told by a writer who shares each description as if knowing from personal experience, you'll love your journey with Peter Weiss into the world of PROGENY."
Craig Haffner - Emmy and Tony award-winning Film & Stage Producer
“A thrilling story every mother will find compelling. In a world where anonymous and corrupt AI rules: What do you do when the baby you bear is not called your own? Contemplating a world of declining birthrates, climate crisis, intrusive gadgetry, drones and self-driving vehicles, carpets of cameras, all ruled by anonymous and corrupt AI, Dr. Weiss evokes the threat to the basic human right to parent your own children”
Michele Richards, Founder and CEO of Wonderstruck Studios

“If you thought Handmaid’s Tale was twisted, just wait until you read PROGENY. Stephen King has met his match. “

"Progeny is a provocative and deeply original novel that explores what could happen when society's pursuit of equity overrides the most primal human bond: that between parent and child. Set in a near-future world where newborns are randomly reassigned at birth to eliminate inherited privilege, Dr. Peter Weiss leverages his vast expertise as a distinguished Ob-Gyn to lend medical realism (Kiwi vacuums, who knew?) and emotional nuance to this chilling premise.
This is a powerful debut that challenges assumptions and lingers long after the final page. I highly recommend it not only for the page-turning read it is, but as worthy of development as a feature or series destined for multiple screens."

“A heart-pounding sleigh ride into a twisted future world. “
