A childless world! No schools, no playgrounds, no sports or concert days, no family holidays, no magic or Christmas. No dating or male attraction, no dressing up or much interest at all in fashion or beauty. In a world where women can no longer conceive!
Sci fi fiction by a womens author. Strangely when mists clear, a meteor shower that hits intercontinentally has done nothing anywhere. Except, within weeks there’s the shocking realisation men everywhere are inexplicably impotent and also infertile, with doctors as baffled as they are.
No more babies! It’s a global disaster. The devastating news dominates the media. And markets across the globe begin to collapse, at the horrific economic implications of an ageing and terminally reducing world.
Scientists, the military and space experts find evidence that now convinces sceptical world leaders, of an alien invasion intent on taking over the world by genocide – with destroying human reproduction.
One brave woman puts forward a radical idea, as the only possible and secret solution. But will it work?
About the Authors
Womens author Liz Cowley had a long career as an advertising copywriter. A lifelong fan of poetry, she enjoyed success with A Red Dress and What am I doing here?, made into a theatrical show in Ireland and the UK. She first became involved with botany working with John Akeroyd on Plant Talk, and turned her gardening hobby into Outside in my dressing gown, Gardening in Slippers and Green Fingers, soon called ‘Britain’s gardening poet’. A further humorous poetry book, Pass the Prosecco, Darling! was about cooking disasters.
She has since written a war novel, From one hell to another, with her husband Donough O’Brien, together with three thrillers.
Donough O’Brien enjoyed a marketing career in Britain and the USA, and having visited fifty-one countries, his first book was Fame by Chance, looking at places that only became famous by a twist of fate. Banana Skins covered the slips and screw-ups that brought the famous down to earth, In the heat of battle took a hard look at those who rose to the occasion in warfare and those who didn’t, and WHO? examined the most remarkable people you’ve never heard of.
He and Liz have a house in France, where they wrote From one hell to another, about the Spanish in the French resistance, and where John Akeroyd runs botanical tours, during which the idea of Plants & Us was born.
