Résumé
There's nothing a government wouldn't do to remain in power. "Futuristic and dark, No Child of Mine combines a sinister dystopian society with the terror of an unfamiliar disease to create a chilling tale you won't be able to put down." - Indies Today, editorial review."Intriguing Orwellian-esque story that is extremely tense and utterly disturbing" - Commune Magazine"The author crafts a gripping plot that stays in the reader's mind long after the story is finished." - Publisher's Weekly, "The BookLife Prize" 57th Year of the true leadership of The Ordained Liberating Party; or Year 2273 by the old calendar."The Collapse" took millions of lives and most of the country's farming lands, bringing the surviving population of the island to the brink of starvation.
Out of the aftermath of the chaos and anarchy, a new state had emerged, known as The Federation Britannia, run by the single and unopposed Ordained Liberating Party. The division of the country's orphanages for children of "the true citizens" and children of "the enemies of the state" began the clearance of the questionable element, and bloody years of the Age of Cleansing had finished the purge, leaving behind a perfectly obedient electorate that marched every year in the Liberation Day parades, praising the Party's leadership and following the Party's every directive. The rule of the Party is absolute.
Its tool of compliance, the State Security Unit, is feared. Tom isn't a frightened follower, he is a true believer. He loves the Party with all his heart. He trusts in the Party's wisdom. The Party had raised him, rewarding his devotion and love with a lucrative engineering job, and after the approval for the Procreation licence, it also granted him a family. But the unexpected midnight visit by the State Security to his flat, questions asked and blood samples collected, unsettles Tom more than he likes to admit, and the following day, whilst investigating the "black uniforms" interest, Tom witnesses the State Security troops, led by the familiar officer, marshalling the children from his daughter's nursery, packing them into trucks and taking them into the unknown.
At that moment Tom is forced to make a decision: either to follow the Party directive and to surrender his child into its plenary care or to protect what he loves and run. But there's nowhere to run. There's no escape from the island or from the complete control of the Ordained Liberating Party. "No Child of Mine" is a story of a father's journey to save his child from a totalitarian regime, who is in order to bury the truth prepared to exterminate an entire generation.
