5.0 out of 5 starsA great read of a disturbing future

A great read of a disturbing future. Well written and delightful in places, shocking in others – all too real. It tells the story of over-population and a world government’s attempt to solve it. You could really identify with the characters and the scene were pictures in your head. You’ll cry in places. If you love good Sci-fi then you will enjoy this book.

HASH(0x80292744) out of 5 stars A Must Read for Young Scientists. 24 Mar. 2016
By Georgina W. – Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This book should be a must read for any budding scientist or politician. However for the rest of us it is time well spent pondering a future scenario with population problems to be solved. There is good characterisation of the scientists who have taken different research paths since their student days. The children who have Mickel’s syndrome are delightful and innocent in contrast to the devious and desperate dealings of the politicians. The book is imaginative and with a strong narrative which is compelling to finish. There are echoes of our current day problems and the crisis we could create for the future. If I was still involved in buying for school libraries I would certainly do so as young adults can read this easily and have many issues to discuss.

    1. I liked it but in truth I think it puts a lot of people off. It’s not as popular as it should be.
