About this listen

Five hundred years in the future, earth is no longer populated by humans.

The new guardians of Earth, the genetically engineered Erta, have reversed climate change. They are now faced with a dilemma; if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo sapiens, all of their work will be undone.

They decide to raise one final child, a sole human to help decide if humanity should again inherit the Earth.

But the quiet and clinical Ima finds that there is more to raising a human than she had expected and that there is more to humanity's history than she has been told.

Loved this story, best I have listened to since Udo the digger, it was a bit different to the usual space ships, enhanced soldier type of scfi books I normally read and I was a bit apprehensive about the purchase, then when I heard the narrator was female and Scottish I groaned inwardly BUT the story and the narration was brilliant, In fact I'm going to find the authors other books and the narrators narrations right now.

What a great story
