A Destiny of Fools Book

Civilization is literally crumbling, as there are few young people left to maintain the infrastructure of mankind's greatest cities. Buildings and bridges are close to collapse, whilst the subways flood and pavements cave in. It's as though the foundations are rotting because the foundations of the human race, its children, are disappearing. In the world created by Ejner Fulsang children are so rare they have to be kept under guard. There is even a Department of Reproduction to ensure that women are inseminated every month, and such a thing as fertility card fraud to penalise those who do not at least try to become pregnant. Sophie Zapata is a well-known reporter for The Times. At 26 she's something of a rarity, since there are so few people of her age, and it looks as though her generation will be the last. She's covering the story of John Wesley Nydegger, a serial killer due for execution. But when she goes to watch his electrocution, some things seems amiss. Convinced that his death has been faked, she decides to investigate further.
