Humanity faces extinction, unless Greybeard and his wife Martha are successful in their quest for the scarcest and most precious of resources: human children.

(5/5 stars) Brian Aldiss is an SF/fantasy author who has achieved the rare success of acceptance as a writer of real significance by the literary establishment in his lifetime. He lives near Oxford.
