Summary
When Omega came it came with dramatic suddenness and was received with incredulity. Overnight, it seemed, the human race had lost its power to breed... Omega was the year 1995, when the last child was born on earth. Twenty-five years later the world’s population is seriously declining, and many countries have descended into anarchy. But Xan Lyppiatt, the charismatic Warden of England, is running things with a sure hand. Despite the imminence of worldwide human extinction, everything appears to be running smoothly. But is it? Theo Faron simply doesn’t want to know. The reclusive academic and one-time advisor to Xan wants merely to enjoy the consolations left to him. Then he meets the young woman, Julian, who tells him about a small group of radicals who plan to challenge the Warden’s absolute authority. Reluctantly involved in the radicals’ struggle and increasingly drawn to the enigmatic Julian, Theo takes action that will irrevocably alter his life and involve him in unimaginable terror.
