Summary
The year is 2021. No child has been born for twenty-five years. The human race faces extinction.
 
Under the despotic rule of Xan Lyppiat, the Warden of England, the old are despairing and the young cruel. Theo Faren, a cousin of the Warden, lives a solitary life in this ominous atmosphere. That is, until a chance encounter with a young woman leads him into contact with a group of dissenters. Suddenly his life is changed irrevocably as he faces agonising choices which could affect the future of mankind.

Story was ok, movie was better. Not my favorite Narrator.

The concept of this book is very interesting although there’s no explanation or reason for why men are suddenly infertile. Also the story doesn’t have a ton of twists or turns but is a solid listen. I have to be honest and say I really don’t like the voice actors voice. He is intelligent and varies his voices for different characters but it’s annoying to listen to and also the editing of this book was kind of mediocre - you can hear pages russling around, etc.
