''Greybeard is a potent elegy for the human condition ... beautifully observed and written, involving and profound'' Adam Roberts

Ecological disaster has left England a wasteland. Atomic testing in space has got out of hand and slowly the truth dawns: man has introduced sterility in its own kind and humanity faces extinction.

In small, shattered communities nature comes into its own, burying the cities and roads in a riot of vegetation and populating it with new animal life. Through this strange landscape Greybeard and his wife Martha journey in search of hope in their quest for the scarcest and most precious of resources: human children. But is it possible that this new Dawn of Man holds sinister possibilities for the remnants of the old order?

''A truly impressive achievement'' Observer
