Overview
<b>A modern science fiction classic from an acclaimed bestselling author: The year is 2021. No child has been born for twenty-five years. The human race faces extinction.<br><br>"A book of such accelerating tension that the pages seem to turn faster as one moves along." —<i>Chicago Tribune<br><br></i></b>Civilization itself is crumbling as suicide and despair become commonplace. Oxford historian Theodore Faron, apathetic toward a future without a future, spends most of his time reminiscing. Then he is approached by Julian, a bright, attractive woman who wants him to help get her an audience with his cousin, the powerful Warden of England. She and her band of unlikely revolutionaries may just awaken his desire to live . . . and they may also hold the key to survival for the human race.<br><br>Told with P. D. James’s trademark suspense, insightful characterization, and riveting storytelling, <i>The Children of Men</i> is a story of a world with no children and no future.<br><br><b>The inspiration for director Alfonso Cuarón's modern masterpiece of a film.</b>
