The children of men

Summary: The year is 2021, and the human race is - quite literaly- coming to an end. Since 1995 no babies have been born, because in that year all males unexpectedly became infertile. Great Britian is ruled by a dictator and the population is inexorably growing older. Theodore Faron, Oxford historian and, incidentally, cousin of the all-powerful Warden of England, watches in growing dispair as society gradually crumbles around him, giving way to strange faiths and cruelties: prison camps, mass organized euthanasia, roving bads of thugs. The suddenly, Faron is drawn into the plans of an unlikely group of revolutionaries. His passivity is shattered and the action begins.
